		winterkjm: - 17 nominations in 1 year! - 12 state parties Actually these are 15 NEW nominations in 11 countries. 2 nominations (Columbus in Huelva and Antananarivo) are renominations of older T-list entries. From the 15 remaining ones 3 are extensions to existing properties (Wassu, Georgetown, Classical Karst).

		Thanks for the summary, winterkjm. The tendency is clear - this year is hitting a record low. Just a comment on the methodology: If we count this year as 15 other years might be significantly lower too, as many of the T-list entries were renominations of older T-list entries. I recall Columbia as an example. It submitted all its T-list anew just translating the titles from Spanish to English.

		Assif: If we count this year as 15 other years might be significantly lower too, as many of the T-list entries were renominations of older T-list entries. We shall see in about 2 weeks if its as low as 17 or 15, or if any late comers technically made it by April 15. Nevertheless, it does seem to be unpresedented.

		I wonder what the reasons are for such low figures? -Just an an outlier because a couple of big countries didn't overhaul their t-lists (even if that is the case it is a very low number) -Perhaps the delayed effect of austerity politics (culture and heritage departments are normally the first and easiest sectors to slash). -Most things that would make the list are already inscribed or on the t-list (a look over the recent proposals from some western European countries would suggest this isn't really a hindrance)

		meltwaterfalls: what the reasons are - A backlog at Unesco headquarters and/or website?

		22 Nominations submitted to UNESCO to replace Portugal's tentative list. Some names are translated vaguely and I would expect far more clarification when the sites actually are approved. - Águas Livres Aqueduct - Baixa - Building headquarters and park the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, - Historical, Global City (Lisbon) - Pilgrimage of Portuguese ways to Santiago de Compostela - Historic Centre of Guimarães and Leather Zone (extension) - Roman Industrial Complex Salting and Preserved Fish in Troy - Architectural masterpieces set of Álvaro Siza Vieira in Portugal - West Coast - Desert of the Discalced Carmelites and Built Set-Palace Hotel in the Bussaco - Mid-Atlantic Ridge - Bulwark Fortresses of Raia - Icnitos of Dinosaurs of the Iberian Peninsula - Wild Islands - Levada Madeira - Globalization places - Mértola - Assembled, Cultural Landscape - Palace and Tapada National de Mafra and fencing Garden - Magellan's route: First around the world - Bom Jesus do Monte (Braga) and Vila Viçosa - Renaissance Ducal Vila http://www.dn.pt/portugal/interior/portugal-tem-22-bens-candidatos-a-patrimonio-mundi al-da-unesco-5200808.html

		winterkjm: 22 Nominations submitted to UNESCO to replace Portugal's tentative list. Wow, I think I make that seven in Lisbon, and Mafra and Troia (Troy) aren't that far away either. Although that does include the Magellan site, I don't understand that one yet, he didn't sail from anywhere in Portugal, (he departed from Sanlucar de Barrameda in Spain current departure point for cruises to Donana NP), but I am guessing it has a link to Belem winterkjm: Globalization places Odd title, but I'm interested to see what happens with this one. This article indicates it is be based around Sagres, Maderia and the Azores tied by links to Henry the Navigator. With a multinational aspect linked to Cape Verde, Morocco and Spain. It feels like something better covered by other UNESCO initiatives, but it rather appeals to me.

		meltwaterfalls: 22 Nominations submitted to UNESCO to replace Portugal's tentative list. Wow, I think I make that seven in Lisbon Actually I think that article has got something wrong as there seem to only be 19 sites in their list rather than 22 (either that or they don't have a sub-editor that can use punctuation properly - I'm on no moral high ground on that one). I think a lot of those Lisbon sites are part of one bigger site. I was struggling to see how they could nominate the Lower Town as one site and the whole city as another. I think this is the breakdown of the 19, though my Portuguese isn't up to much so I could be wrong: meltwaterfalls' guess: Lisbon a Historic Global City including: Aqueduct of Águas Livres, Baixa Pombalina (lower town) and the Park and Buildings of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Portuguese Pilgrimage Routes to Santiago de Compostela Historic Centre of Guimarães incl. the tanneries (extension) Roman Industrial complex for salting a preserving fish in Tróia (how very Portuguese!!) Architectural masterpieces of Álvaro Siza Vieira in Portugal South West Coast The route of the Discalced Carmelite's including the Palace Hotel in Buçaco. Mid-Atlantic Ridge Bulwark fortresses on the Portuguese/Spanish frontier Dinosaur Ichnite Sites of the Iberian Peninsula The Savage Islands Levadas of Madeira (Irrigation channels) The first places of globalisation (Sagres, Azores, Madiera -potentially also Cape Verde, Cetua (Spain) and Ksar es-Seghir (Morocco)) Mértola Montando - A type of agro-sylvo-pastoral farming landscape (apparently known as Dehesa in English) Mafra Palace and Royal Forest including the Jardim do Cerco Route of Magellan; The first to sail around the world (although he didn't sail from Portugal so I'm not sure what is included) Sanctury of Bom Jesus do Monte (Braga) Ducal Palace of Vila Viçosa

		meltwaterfalls: oute of Magellan; The first to sail around the world (although he didn't sail from Portugal so I'm not sure what is included) He was Portuguese so possibly Portugal is hoping to sneak in his house in Sabrosa? see - http://www.panoramio.com/photo/118042020 I suppose his "route" could be said to have "started" there! But such "associative" nominations are not usually acceptable. But then the whole "route" is "associative"

		Solivagant: He was Portuguese so possibly Portugal is hoping to sneak in his house in Sabrosa? Yeah, I was thinking it would be something tenuous like that. I don't really think that is a "goer". It also looks like your fear of potential "Starchitect"nominations is bearing fruits. I'm somewhat fond of Siza's works, but they certainly aren't what I have in mind when I think of OUV.

		meltwaterfalls: It also looks like your fear of potential "Starchitect"nominations is bearing fruits. Out of interest I have made a quick trawl through the T List to identify (at least!) the following entries consisting solely of the work of a named 20th C Architect - Belgium - L'oeuvre architecturale d'Henry van de Velde Brazil - Sítio Roberto Burle Marx (they could hardly avoid it I suppose as the Park bears his name!) Czech Rep/Slovenia - The timeless, humanistic architecture of Jože Plecnik Hungary - Ödön Lechner's independent pre-modern architecture Uruguay - L'oeuvre de l'ingénieur Eladio Dieste USA - Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings And there are of course other entries which are the work of a single "modern" architect but don't trade on the architect's name. (An approach with which I have no "issues" by the way.) Colombia - Virgilio Barco Library (Salmona) Finland - Paimio Hospital (Aalto) Mexico - Rivera - Kahlo Home Study Museum (O'Gorman)

		Other aspirants are Kirche am Steinhof (Otto Wagner) and the work of Mackintosh in Glasgow. There are surely a few more.
