MUtual SOurces on Modern MEDiterranean Architecture: towards an open and shared system

Objective

The project aims at studying the feasibility of a platform easing access to sources and resources on modern (i.e. 19th and 20th c.) Mediterranean architecture within the framework of a EU-Med partnership (France, Italy, Tunisia). It is based on the observation that a wealth of architectural and urban forms of European origin and/or inspiration exists in the southern and eastern shore of the Mediterranean, and has attracted, in the last decade, a growing interest from scholars, conservationists and authorities alike (from both sides of the Mediterranean), as new objects for research as well as potential candidates for protection, conservation and enhancement.

Recording, studying, listing and restoring an architectural asset that tends to be perceived as a shared heritage is representing a developing field of activity for different disciplines (art history, archaeology, architecture, information management, cultural heritage studies and management, planning...) with significant potential of growth in the coming decades. Providing specialised knowledge in this field is thus essential to the development of research, as well as for decision- and policy-making. This domain of investigation suffers however from uneasy access to relevant documentary data. Primary sources, as well as secondary, material on given buildings or urban areas of interest are particularly difficult to retrieve.

The objective of this proposed SSA is to produce, through joint research and the assistance of a multi-disciplinary group of experts (art historians, archaeologists, archivists, information officers, data base technology and system-building specialists, cultural heritage managers), the prototype of the electronic and virtual means that can help bridging the data dispersion and limited availability by offering full remote access to geographically-organized and visually-oriented resources open to cross-searching, and a scheme for the incrementation and expansion of the system.
