About DOCOMOMO
DOCOMOMO is the acronym for the International Committee for Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites and Neighborhoods of the Modern Movement, a non-governmental organization.
Founded in 1988 in the Netherlands, with representation in over forty countries, it is a non-profit organization. DOCOMOMO International is currently based in Lisbon, Portugal, and also serves as an advisory body to UNESCO's World Heritage Centre.
DOCOMOMO's objectives are the documentation and conservation of Modern Movement creations in architecture, urban planning, and related fields. It is internationally recognized as one of the most important global organizations dedicated to heritage preservation.
In Brazil, DOCOMOMO operates at a national level and also features regional chapters. DOCOMOMO Brazil has been organizing biennial scientific seminars since 1995. The proceedings are available online and constitute an important archive on the identification and preservation of modern heritage.
Due to the country's vast scale and regional diversity, the significance of Brazil's modern architectural legacy, and the depth of academic research on modern architectural heritage, the Southern, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and North-Northeast Regional Chapters also regularly organize DOCOMOMO Seminars.
