DO.CO.MO.MO (External organisation)

Description

Mission

In the last decades, the architectural heritage of the modern movement appeared more at risk than during any other period. This built inheritance glorifies the dynamic spirit of the Machine Age. At the end of the 1980s, many modern masterpieces had already been demolished or had changed beyond recognition. This was mainly due to the fact that many were not considered to be elements of heritage, that their original functions have substantially changed and that their technological innovations have not always endured long-term stresses.

Docomomo International's missions are to:

act as watchdog when important modern movement buildings anywhere are under threat

exchange ideas relating to conservation technology, history and education

foster interest in the ideas and heritage of the modern movement

elicit responsibility towards this recent architectural inheritance.

Emneord: preservation, conservation, transformation, cultural heritage, culture, architecture
