Network users may be interested in the following statement concerning the loss of monuments of cultural heritage in the regions of the ex-Yugoslavia. This statement was voted on and passed by the Society of Architectural Historians Board at their recent meeting 13 November 1993 in Pittburgh, Pa. Franklin Toker, president. The Society of Architectural Historianss notes with sadness the recent destruction of the sixteenth century bridge at Mostar and other important architectural monuments and urban sites in the region of the former Yugoslavia. As architectural historians we are outraged to see that architectural and cultural sites have become the focus of military attacks. While people and their needs come first, and they do, we as architectural historians especially deplore the systematic attempts by all forces to destroy the markers of cultural heritage. Museums, archives, libraries, churches, synagogues, mosques, agricultural structures and housing have all been targeted, as have the urban places where people gather-- cafes, piazzas, and bazaars. We ask that this statment of alarm and solidarity be distributed to those organizations and individuals involved in attempts to preserve, record, and disseminate information about these sites. We offer the supports of the Society and urge our academic colleagues in other fields to join us in bringing these tragic losses to national and international attention. (end of statement) The Society is in the process of forming a pledge fund to help with the task of preserving the architectural heritage in Yugoslavia. The Board will be working to designate a project for that fund. More information will arrive in the SAH Newsletter. For more information, network users may wish to see the recent issue of ART NEWSPAPER which has an article by Marian Wenzel who is the director of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Heritage Rescue Fund (UK). Their address is: Bosnia-Herzegovina Heritage Rescue Fund (UK) 9 Canterbury Mansions, Lymington Road, London NW6. The architect responsible for the restoration of the center of Mostar (awarded the Aga Kahn prize for architecture, 1987) a man by the name of Amir Pasic is in this country at the moment with an exhibition about Bosnian architecture. It has been shown in Cambridge, I believe, and will also be in New Haven, New York, and Philadelphia. This information provided by Nicholas Adams for the Society of Architectural Historians.
