Workshop: Worldwide Heritage Walk - wwwhw-m

[Insa Winkler]

At the first summer school in Bulgaria a practise based case study about the topology, criteria and indicator of mapping a worldwide heritage walk is supposed to be started. The goal is to label sustainable locations that focus special on bio- and cultural diversity instead of uniformity of our globe. Our walking focus on sensation for the different types of landscape like nature reservation, (agro) - industrial fields, human settlements and the agricultural space given as a human heritage corridor for future generations.

A walk of the group should be based on discovering, looking, finding, reflecting and analyzing the landscape and environment of Gabro. Our journey of research, feasible in the time schedule, may lead us to some point to a cultural, sustainable and typical site - specific heritage.

With a JPS digital camera we will create a map with personal credits to our workshop area, but we will also discussing “the collective point” of “highlighting something”. Ideally we will publish this coordinates and pictures in the web. The development of a webspace is planned to become a growing atlas of a sustainable walk and the mapping of expedient cultural heritage resources for comprehensible use.

Everybody is invited to subjoin optional existing GPS guided web spaces to make this sustainable transformation happen. The concept also intend to bring participants into a team working situation and exchange their educational background through the indicators for sustainable human heritage as well as developing creative objects to mediate the results and share this internationally.
