 DOCOMOMO - Cultural Commons
DOCOMOMO is an all-volunteer group comprised of historians, architects, designers, preservationists and others, working in the academic community and in the field.
The chapters are at different levels of development and activity, yet each is working toward similar goals: sponsoring educational programs and tours; providing technical assistance on the preservation of Modern Movement buildings; conducting research and survey projects to fuel a nationwide register of Modern buildings; publishing newsletters and keeping what's Modern in the general press.
Most importantly, DOCOMOMO is helping to define a new mode of historic preservation with updated definitions of significance that will bring the exhilarating creativity and production of the early to mid-20th century into the mainstream.

The theme of the 2006 Conference, "Other Modernisms" proceeds from the consensus that the mainstream historiographic construction of 20th century modernism through its canonic texts and buildings has marginalized or left out entirely, some modern trajectories that are now gaining an unprecedented new legitimacy as the subject matter of revisionist histories.
Similarly, the extensive network of Docomomo does not confine itself to canonical centers of Modernism, and is already a step toward the recognition of different and distant modernisms.
In the spirit of the above premises, Docomomo 2006 seeks contributions from scholars, educators, researchers, design and preservation professionals, and policy and law-makers with different perspectives: theoretical investigations, historical research, socio-cultural analyses, documentation and inventory work, case studies, design, restoration, conservation, rehabilitation and re-use projects, policy proposals, pedagogical programs and artistic production among others.

 SETTIMO CONVEGNO
The seventh conference of Docomomo, which will be held in Paris in 2002, aims at a critical approach to the reception of the architecture of the Modern Movement and its effects.
The analysis of reception, as it was first proposed by the literature historian and theorist Hans Robert Jauss, consists, primarily, of an analysis of the original circumstances and the environment in which a particular work of art was created, produced, criticised, and judged.
The papers in their final form (ready for publication, by e-mail or on disk) with illustrations (slides or numeric images, free from any copyright obligations) accompanied by a short summary in English (800 characters or 200 words), must be sent before the 1st May, 2002.

 ArchitectureWeek - News - Saving Modern Moments - 2002.1030
DOCOMOMO began as a small network of experts, primarily European, with hands-on experience in "modern conservation." The founders expected a total membership of about 40 participants in five or six European countries.
Important elements of the debate during the Paris conference were the strategies of conservation that some buildings have required, the enthusiasm or dislike they have provoked, and the histories — or mythologies — they have produced, notably in the mass media.
Ever since DOCOMOMO, the Municipal Art Society, the Museum of Modern Art, and prominent architects such as Philip Johnson, Robert A.M. Stern, and Peter Samton began their advocacy for the building's protection, the Port Authority has made concessions to improve maintenance for the building while it is unoccupied.

 DoCoMoMo documented - 1994 International DoCoMoMo conference in Barcelona, Spain Architectural Review, The - Find ...
The initial impetus behind the 1994 international DoCoMoMo conference at Barcelona was conservationist, but it had seemed, under its parallel self-imposed task of documentation, that it might also provide a forum for discussion from a Modern Movement viewpoint of contemporary architectural developments, or even for a reassertion of Modern Movement values and concerns.
This is closer to home as a theme, but it is to be hoped that DoCoMoMo will not lose its forward-looking aspect and, with it, its vitality.
The Conference concluded with a splendid reception in the Mies Pavilion whose serenity and monumentality were sufficient to override the throng: but to one seeing it for the first time, there seemed a lack of focus at the centre which in the Wright originals is provided by the fireplace.

Even though DOCOMOMO has grown into an impressive network of experts, they do not always succeed in protecting modern works.
DOCOMOMO International has been unexpectedly successful in mobilizing large numbers of professionals dealing with modern conservation.
It might be because DOCOMOMO was born at a time when preservationists, more familiar with older buildings, were becoming uneasy about the vast numbers of recent buildings that would soon require preservation.

Founded in the late ’80s in the Netherlands, this international consortium of architects and preservationists was originally organized to preserve works of the early Modern movement, mainly buildings built between 1915 and 1945 in Northern and Eastern Europe.
The focus of the group is on buildings, landscapes or public projects constructed roughly between 1920 and 1970 and, most importantly, fitting the definition of Modernism.
