Workshop

Living the future

The Docomomo International Workshop focuses on exploring the heritage of the Modern Movement through dynamic engagement with sustainability and cultural diversity. It aims to develop strategies for extending the life of housing complexes and addressing community challenges.

The Workshop also seeks to train future generations with the knowledge to appreciate and preserve modern heritage, aligning with the educational goals of the Docomomo Manifesto on Education.
