The Silent Buildings of Willow Court: testing a new and innovative model for cultural heritage assessment

这一试点项目是由于迫切需要评估历史悠久的杨柳Court Precinct的资源，这是澳大利亚服务时间最长的精神卫生设施（1827-2000年）。这个占地18公顷的区域位于澳大利亚经济最贫困的地区之一，塔斯马尼亚州的德温特河谷。2002年6月，该区被地方理事会收购。与此同时，州政府的文化遗产咨询小组正在开发一个理论模型，用于衡量历史遗址的状况和压力。本项目将使用杨柳Court Precinct来测试模型。

This pilot project is fuelled by an urgent need to assess the resources of the historic Willow Court Precinct, Australia's longest serving mental health facility (1827-2000). The 18-hectare Precinct, with its now abandoned buildings, is located in one of Australia's most economically deprived regions, Tasmania's Derwent River Valley. In June 2002 the Precinct was acquired by the local Council. At the same time, a theoretical model for measuring the condition and pressures on historic sites was being developed by the state government's Cultural Heritage Advisory Group. This project will use the Willow Court Precinct to test the model.
