Heritage Groups Inventory Tsunami's Effect on Cultural Sites
| Title: | Heritage Groups Inventory Tsunami's Effect on Cultural Sites | | Author: | Murdoch, James | | Publication: | Architectural Record / McGraw-Hill | | Enumeration: | Vol. 193, Issue 2, p26, 1/4p., Feb 2005 | | Abstract: | This article reports that officials with
world heritage groups are beginning to take stock
of cultural sites in Southeast Asia damaged or
destroyed by recent tsunami. The World Monuments
Fund (WMF), which provides financial assistance to
preserve cultural sites, confirms that while
several important cultural sites could be
destroyed, not all the news is bad. A WMF site in
Malacca, Malaysia, is also undamaged, and it
appears the Sun Temple of Konanak, a 13th-century
temple on the Bay of Bengal in India, sustained
only minor damage. Source of Abstract: Provided by Publisher | | Tools: |
