(Cinet)- Vietnamese and Japanese architects and researchers shared their experience in preserving wooden architectural structures at a conference in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue on October 25.
Entitled “Preservation of the wooden architectural heritage in Asia: case studies from Vietnam and Japan”, the event was jointly held by the Hue Relics Conservation Centre, the Cultural Heritage Association of Vietnam and the All Japan Society of Architects and Engineers, looking to build a comprehensive management plan for Hue heritage property.
At the event, Dr Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Hue Relic Conservation Centre, said many cultural heritages in Vietnam and Japan face challenges resulting from the environment and socioeconomic growth.
Japan has sponsored the conservation of wooden architecture in Hue imperial relic complex since 1994, Hai added.
According to Ms. Katherine Muller-Marin, UNESCO Representative in Vietnam, financial and technical support from various sources has enabled the Hue Relics Conservation Centre to restore a lot of wooden architectural buildings and gain valuable experience to share.
She hoped that the conservation of architectural heritages in Hue will become typical examples in the world, like Nara or Horyu-ju Kondo in Japan.
