The Fourth Exposition and International Conference

of Building Preservation

Habima, Tel-Aviv, Israel, December 12,2018

The Fourth International Exposition of Preservation is underway and you are invited to participate.

The subject of the coming professional Conference is:

"Preservation as Part of Sustainable Planning"

The success of the previous three expositions which were held in2015-2017,shows the enormous

interest of the public and the large potentiality in concentrating knowledge and professionalism in one place, as in Preservation expositions in Paris, France and in Ferrera, Italy.

Our experience shows that it is a good professional platform for encouraging collaboration and exchanging knowledge among interested parties in the field.

Sustainable Planning is actually a planning approach which considers the environmental, economic

and social aspects. At the same time, it emphasizes the existing physical and cultural space. This planning mode is consistent with the field of preservation, while its aim is to combine social, environmental, cultural and economic elements in a whole manner. The preservation of Heritage Sites while restoring and using compounds and historical buildings is actually geared to produce an exceptional urban, cultural and social space, while minimizing the environmental damages.

As in the previous years, the exposition will include the last novelties in the field of preservation. International companies will participate in the Exposition and the Conference as well. As in the past, we will be happy to include the participation of companies, organizations, traditional craftsmen and entrepreneurs from the preservation field. All mentioned above can share their experience and knowledge they have accumulated along the years in preservation with the targeted audience.

Along the exposition there will be the professional Conference which will deal with preservation as part of the existing city restoration plans. Also preservation projects from Israel and the world, reuse of locations, building technologies, different approaches in research of preservation of historical cities.

We expect more than 1500 participants and visitors, including the presentations and lectures of senior experts in the field from Israel and the world.
