This book collects the Proceedings of the fourth edition of the conference “CLIMATE CHANGE AND CULTURAL HERITAGE. IV International Forum on Architecture and Urbanism”, held on 22 and 23 June 2023, in the New Rector’s Palace in Caserta.
After the editions in Tirana (Albania) in 2017, Pescara (Italy) in 2018 and Tirana (Albania) in 2019, the IFAU Conference is coming to the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” in the June 2023.
We received 165 papers from Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Iran, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Nigeria, Portugal, Czech Republic, Spain, USA. The authors and co-authors who participated in the call are 329 from prestigious Universities, Departments and Research Centres in the world.
The IFAU23 Conference entitled Climate Change and Cultural Heritage promotes studies and research on the past, present and future of architecture, the city, and the landscape. Climate Change that affl icts our Planet is a worldwide problem for humanity and affects the practices of knowledge, management and protection of cultural heritage. Cultural Heritage includes the interdisciplinary themes of possible questions related, in one, to the Heritage as a set of multiple categories, from artifact to natural. The IFAU23 Conference proposes a large discussion on cultural heritage as a “place of Life” for all living beings on the Planet as well as on best practices related to heritage as a “place of experience” for the knowledge and protection of the built and natural environment, material and immaterial, tangible and intangible.
The contributions will be included in the three topics to follow (architecture; city and landscape; living environments) to activate an interdisciplinary discussion on the topics and criticalities of the current relationship between Climate Change and Cultural Heritage in the opinion that scientific knowledge must always accompany the progressive impact on the life of communities
