Professor of architecture Samir Younés has written: "The Charter’s abhorrence of restoration and reconstruction – with its implicit fear of "false history" – reflects the Modernist theory of <a href="/wiki/Historical_determinism" title="Historical determinism">historical determinism</a>, rather than the idea of a living architectural tradition. Major advances over the last 40 years in traditional design fluency and building crafts skills have undercut and outmoded many of the assumptions implicit in the Venice Charter. As a result, many now believe that visual harmony, aesthetic balance and the essential character of a place are of greater importance than abstract Modernist theories."<sup id="cite_ref-Revisit_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Revisit-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Issue is taken particularly with the words in Article 9: "Any extra work which is indispensable must be distinct from the architectural composition and <i>must bear a contemporary stamp."</i> This declaration has had a major impact on the management of historic buildings globally. In the U.S., for example, it shaped the Secretary of the Interior’s Standard #9 so it stated "...new work shall be differentiated from the old". It has been commonly interpreted to mean that interventions and additions have to be in Modernist styles, rather than being discreetly indicated by such devices as dated cornerstones and descriptive plaques. Many popular reconstructions now considered intrinsic to their locations, such as the 1912 rebuilding of the <a href="/wiki/St_Mark%27s_Campanile" title="St Mark's Campanile">Campanile di San Marco</a> in Venice, would violate the Venice Charter’s dictum: “All reconstruction work should however be ruled out "a priori".<sup id="cite_ref-Revisit_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Revisit-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Because of concern over the damage being to historic settings by the Venice Charter's misapplication, in 2006 another conference was held in Venice under the auspices of INTBAU (the <a href="/wiki/International_Network_for_Traditional_Building,_Architecture_%26_Urbanism" class="mw-redirect" title="International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism">International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism</a>).
