7-10 September 2028, Athens, Greece
Docomomo Portugal wants to share that the next International Docomomo Conference is already being planned. The Conference, organized by Docomomo Greece and Docomomo International, will take place in Athens, Greece, on 7-10 September 2028. It will be preceeded by the Student Workshop on 3-8 September.
Being Docomomo an international movement that studies, protects, interprets, revises, and evaluates the significant works of a historical international movement, with the theme “Movements”, “the 20th International Docomomo conference invites us to reflect on our current position and move in new directions once again. Since the early 1990s, a group of architects and academics who have documented and defended the works of the modern movement have ultimately established a new movement of their own.”
Considering the 30-years anniversary of Docomomo to e celebrated in 2028 three debates, in three different cities (Sofia, Skopje, Tirana) are proposed: 3 pairs of internationally acclaimed personalities will discuss significant and relevant topics regarding the importance of modern architecture today (historical/theoretical perspectives, current building stock, the adaptive reuse of modern structures, etc.).
The main part of the Conference will be in Athens, with parallel events in Sofia (Bulgaria) , Skopje (North Macedonia), and Tirana (Albania), aiming to describe and discuss the movements that led to the modern movement, the movements that emerged from the modern movement, and the movements that need to develop for the future of architecture.
Thus the main venue of the conference will be the NTUA School of Architecture, having as collaboration institutions the Faculty of Architecture at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, the University of Architecture Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy (UACEG) in Sofia, and the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, Polytechnic University of Tirana.
