WMF wants to preserve aviation history from 30ies
See
http://wmf.org/html/programs/wmw2004release.html ---------- Helsinki-Malmi Airport, Finland-As Modernism becomes increasingly recognized as an integral part of our architectural and cultural heritage, WMF's preservation efforts are extending beyond residential and commercial sites to embrace a broad range of building types, including recent industrial and technological structures. Reflecting this, the 2004 Watch list includes the Helsinki-Malmi Airport. With its acclaimed functionalist architecture, the Airport, which opened in 1936, is a representative and beautiful example of airport development in Europe in the early days of commercial aviation. Although the Airport has two landmarked buildings, and has been in continuous use since its construction, the city of Helsinki wants to demolish it to make way for housing for up to 10,000 people. As a result, the owners and operators of the Helisnki-Malmi Airport, along with local residents and citizens, have formed the Friends of Malmi Airport Society to seek its preservation as an architectural treasure that still serves its original function. ----------- You can agree by signing http://www.pelastamalmi.org/en/petition/index.html -- Erkki Mikola |

The WMF, an US based organization dedicated to preserving historic, artistic, and architectural sites worldwide, describes the rock art as Australia's greatest non-European cultural heritage site. The Fund's 2004 World Monuments Watch list also includes the Great Wall of China, an airport in Finland, ancient palaces in Iraq and Shakleton's hut in Antarctica. President of the WMF Bonnie Burnham tells Pete Jackson tourism and war have taken a toll on many of the sites. from http://www.sbs.com.au/radio_new/radi...hp3?choser=now 26.9.2003 -- Erkki Mikola http://www.pelastamalmi.org/en/petition/index.html |
