[Rotterdam] Docomomo conference 13/9 - 20/9
<p>The Dutch chapter of Docomomo is honoured to host the <strong>10th International Docomomo Conference</strong> with the general theme <strong>‘The Challenge of Change’</strong>.</p>
<p>September 13-20</p>
<p>"At the core of the Modern Movement we find the still provocative ideas of functionalism and of an architecture expressing the <em>Zeitgeist</em>. Rightly or wrongly, these ideas would radically transform the architecture and cities of the twentieth century. But how do we deal with such tenets as the well-known <em>form follows function</em> when a modern building loses its original function? How do we value technologies that were once innovative and state-of-the-art, but are now obsolete? The <em>paradox of the modern monument</em> comprises the manifold dilemmas of <em>change and continuity</em>. By choosing change one could lose the wonderful achievements of past generations, by choosing continuity one might save those achievements, yet at the cost of betraying the ideas behind them. What is one to do?"</p>
