1523 RU - Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (2019)

Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture
“This group of monuments is located in the historic city of Pskov, on the banks of the Velikaya River in the northwest of Russia. Characteristics of these buildings, produced by the Pskov School of Architecture, include cubic volumes, domes, porches and belfries, with the oldest elements dating back to the 12th century. Churches and cathedrals are integrated into the natural environment through gardens, perimeter walls and fences. Inspired by the Byzantine and Novgorod traditions, the Pskov School of Architecture reached its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries, and was one of the foremost schools in the country. It informed the evolution of Russian architecture over five centuries. “

普斯科夫学派教堂建筑
”组成该遗产的各教堂、修道院、防御塔及附属建筑位于俄罗斯西北部普斯科夫古城的韦利卡亚河沿岸。方体、穹顶、门廊和钟楼是这些普斯科夫学派建筑的共同特征,教堂在花园、围墙及栅栏的映衬下与当地自然景观融为一体。其中最古老的建筑可追溯至12世纪。普斯科夫学派受拜占庭和诺夫哥罗德传统的影响,在15-16世纪达到顶峰,是俄罗斯当时最具影响力的流派之一,5个多世纪以来一直影响着该国建筑的演变和发展。"

1495 JP - Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region (2018)

Description
"Located in the north-western part of Kyushu island, this serial property consists of ten villages, Hara Castle and a cathedral, built between the 17th and 19th centuries. They reflect the era of prohibition of the Christian faith, as well as the revitalization of Christian communities after the official lifting of prohibition in 1873.  These sites bear unique testimony to a cultural tradition nurtured by hidden Christians in the Nagasaki region who secretly transmitted their faith during the period of prohibition from the 17th to the 19th century."

长崎地区隐藏的基督教遗址
"该遗产地位于九州岛西北部,其12个组成部分包括建于16-19世纪之间的10个村庄、奥哈拉城堡和大教堂。它们共同反映了基督教传入初期传教士和定居者在日本的活动,即“相遇阶段“,其后的对基督教信仰的禁止和迫害, 以及1873年禁令取消后基督教社区的复兴。17-19世纪基督教被禁时期,长崎地区隐藏基督徒的秘密传教培育了独特的文化,这些遗址是这些文化传统的独特证明。"

119 ML - Timbuktu (1988)

Timbuktu
"Home of the prestigious Koranic Sankore University and other madrasas, Timbuktu was an intellectual and spiritual capital and a centre for the propagation of Islam throughout Africa in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its three great mosques, Djingareyber, Sankore and Sidi Yahia, recall Timbuktu's golden age. Although continuously restored, these monuments are today under threat from desertification."

廷巴克图
"这里是声名显赫的科兰尼克·桑科雷大学的所在地。廷巴克图在公元15世纪至16世纪成为了宗教文化中心,同时也是伊斯兰文化向非洲传播的中心。津加里贝尔、桑科尔和西迪·牙希亚这三座雄伟的清真寺反映了廷巴克图的黄金年代。尽管这些建筑不断地被修复,但是今天它们仍然受到风沙侵蚀的威胁。"

1496 US - The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright (2019)

Description

“The property consists of eight buildings in the United States designed by the architect during the first half of the 20th century. These include well known designs such as Fallingwater (Mill Run, Pennsylvania) and the Guggenheim Museum (New York). All the buildings reflect the ‘organic architecture’ developed by Wright, which includes an open plan, a blurring of the boundaries between exterior and interior and the unprecedented use of materials such as steel and concrete. Each of these buildings offers innovative solutions to the needs for housing, worship, work or leisure. Wright's work from this period had a strong impact on the development of modern architecture in Europe.”

弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特的20世纪建筑作品
“该遗产由美国建筑师赖特于20世纪上半叶设计的8座建筑组成,包括落水山庄(宾夕法尼亚州米尔溪)、雅各布别墅(威斯康辛州麦迪逊)和古根海姆博物馆(纽约)等。这些建筑诠释了赖特提出的“有机建筑”,其特点是开放式的平面布局、模糊的室内室外界限,以及钢铁、混凝土等材料的全新使用方法。每一栋建筑都体现了针对住宿、宗教、工作及娱乐需求的创新解决办法。这一时期的赖特作品对欧洲现代建筑的发展产生了重大影响”

1594 GB - Jodrell Bank Observatory (2019)

Jodrell Bank Observatory
"Located in a rural area of northwest England, free from radio interference, Jodrell Bank is one of the world's leading radio astronomy observatories. At the beginning of its use, in 1945, the property housed research on cosmic rays detected by radar echoes. This observatory, which is still in operation, includes several radio telescopes and working buildings, including engineering sheds and the Control Building. Jodrell Bank has had substantial scientific impact in fields such as the study of meteors and the moon, the discovery of quasars, quantum optics, and the tracking of spacecraft. This exceptional technological ensemble illustrates the transition from traditional optical astronomy to radio astronomy (1940s to 1960s), which led to radical changes in the understanding of the universe."

卓瑞尔河岸天文台
"卓瑞尔河岸天文台位于英格兰西北部一处不受无线电干扰的乡村,是世界上最早建成的射电天文台之一。天文台在落成初期(1945年)主要用于研究由雷达系统探测到的宇宙射线。这座仍在使用中的天文台由若干射电望远镜和功能性建筑物(工程工作室、控制室)组成。该天文台对流星、月球、类星体探测、量子光学和航天器跟踪等领域的科学研究发展产生了重大的影响。该遗址不仅是传统光学天文学向无线电天文学(1940年代-1960年代)过渡的重要标志,还深刻改变了人类对宇宙的理解。"

422 GB - The English Lake District (2017)

"Located in northwest England, the English Lake District is a mountainous area, whose valleys have been modelled by glaciers in the Ice Age and subsequently shaped by an agro-pastoral land-use system characterized by fields enclosed by walls. The combined work of nature and human activity has produced a harmonious landscape in which the mountains are mirrored in the lakes. Grand houses, gardens and parks have been purposely created to enhance the landscape’s beauty. This landscape was greatly appreciated from the 18th century onwards by the Picturesque and later Romantic movements, which celebrated it in paintings, drawings and words. It also inspired an awareness of the importance of beautiful landscapes and triggered early efforts to preserve them."

1250 MX - Central University City Campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) (2007)

Central University City Campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)

"The ensemble of buildings, sports facilities and open spaces of the Central University City Campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), was built from 1949 to 1952 by more than 60 architects, engineers and artists who were involved in the project. As a result, the campus constitutes a unique example of 20th-century modernism integrating urbanism, architecture, engineering, landscape design and fine arts with references to local traditions, especially to Mexico’s pre-Hispanic past. The ensemble embodies social and cultural values of universal significance and is one of the most significant icons of modernity in Latin America."

墨西哥国立自治大学大学城的核心校区

"墨西哥国立自治大学大学城的核心校区集中了校舍、体育设施和开阔地,建于1949年至1952年,60多名建筑师、工程师和艺术家参与了这项工程。校园体现出独特的20世纪现代风格,融合了城市化、建筑、工程、景观设计和艺术,同时借鉴了当地传统,特别是前西班牙殖民统治时期的历史沿革。校园具备突出的社会和文化价值,获得广泛赞许,并跻身拉丁美洲最重要的标志性建筑之一。现代建筑和城市规划原则的最终目标是提升居民的生活质量,纵观全球,能够全面落实这些原则的建筑工程为数寥寥,墨西哥国立自治大学的大学城就是其中之一。"

1580 DE - Water Management System of Augsburg (2019)

Water Management System of Augsburg

"The water management system of the city of Augsburg has evolved in successive phases from the 14th century to the present day. It includes a network of canals, water towers dating from the 15th to 17th centuries, which housed pumping machinery, a water-cooled butchers’ hall, a system of three monumental fountains and hydroelectric power stations, which continue to provide sustainable energy today. The technological innovations generated by this water management system have helped establish Augsburg as a pioneer in hydraulic engineering."

奥格斯堡水利管理系统
"奥格斯堡市的水利管理系统自14世纪至今已经历了数个阶段的发展。该水利系统由以下几部分组成:运河网络、数个历史可追溯至15-17世纪的水塔(内部为抽水装置)、1座水冷式屠宰行业建筑、3个雕塑喷泉系统以及仍在为奥格斯堡提供可持续能源的水电站。该水利管理系统产生的技术创新让奥格斯堡成为发展水利工程的先驱城市。"

491 GR - Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus (1988)

Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus

"In a small valley in the Peloponnesus, the shrine of Asklepios, the god of medicine, developed out of a much earlier cult of Apollo (Maleatas), during the 6th century BC at the latest, as the official cult of the city state of Epidaurus. Its principal monuments, particularly the temple of Asklepios, the Tholos and the Theatre - considered one of the purest masterpieces of Greek architecture – date from the 4th century. The vast site, with its temples and hospital buildings devoted to its healing gods, provides valuable insight into the healing cults of Greek and Roman times."

埃皮达鲁斯考古遗址
"埃皮达鲁斯遗址位于伯罗奔尼撒半岛的一个小山谷里,向上延伸好几层。公元前6世纪,阿斯克勒庇俄斯医药神的祭仪是首先从这里开始的,但其主要古迹,尤其是剧场,是到公元4世纪才出现的,被认为是希腊建筑最完美的杰作之一。这片广阔的遗址在希腊和罗马时代是祈祷康复之处,有献给上帝的神庙和医院。"
