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”
