Elena Mendia and women’s professionalism in Neapolitan post-war architecture

The XVIII edition of the Forum titled ‘World Heritage and Contamination' aims to create a cross-critical dialogue, open to cultural contamination and ‘without limits', in a logic of integration between competences which extends, and is not limited to, the following disciplines: Architecture, Culture, Environment, Agriculture, Health, Landscape, Design, Territorial Governance, Archeology, Economy, e-Learning. The activities of protection and promotion of World Heritage, understood as a asset shared by all Humanity, are particularly relevant in Italy, responsible towards the world of custody of the largest number of assets protected by the UNESCO. To the World Heritage Properties is added a landscape heritage of enormous variety and beauty to be protected also through the regeneration of degradation and of the ‘minor heritage', in line with the provisions of the UNESCO Conventions on material and intangible assets as well as the European Landscape Convention.
