Reco.mo.mo: Reconstructie van modern erfgoed
Seminar 20 mei 2011, Utrecht
DATE: 20/5/2011
Docomomo Nederland creëert een nieuw platvorm waar ontwerpers, planners en academici kennis kunnen uitwisselen: een jaarlijks seminar en de uitgave van een bijbehorend boekwerk rond het thema.
Seminar 20 mei 2011:Het reconstrueren van (modern) erfgoed is de laatste jaren een fel omstreden thema in erfgoedkringen, maar ook bij ontwerpers en daarbuiten. Het idee om een gebouw (of een interieur, een park, een plein) met nieuwe materialen te herbouwen staat haaks op één van de belangrijkste principes van de hedendaagse westerse monumentenzorg: behoud van het fysieke object in zijn oorspronkelijke materialiteit als historische bron. Een sleutelrol in deze discussie neemt het begrip ‘authenticiteit’ in.
Is een gebouw alleen ‘authentiek’ als het in zijn materiële substantie en op de oorspronkelijke locatie wordt bewaard?
Op 20 mei organiseert Docomomo haar jaarlijkse seminar rondom dit thema. Diverse sprekers zullen ingaan op onderwerpen zoals: het wezen van authenticiteit: idee of materiaal / de waarde en het eventueel vervangen van originele materialen / de reconstructie van moderne stedenbouwkundige ruimtes / onderzoekmethoden naar het oorspronkelijke staat / technieken van de reconstructie en uiteraard de presentatie van een aantal recente praktijkvoorbeelden.
De middag zal worden afgesloten door een debat.

Interdisciplinaridade e experiências em documentação e preservação do patrimônio recente
Após quase vinte anos de atividades do DOCOMOMO Brasil, assiste-se hoje a um incremento exponencial nas pesquisas sobre o patrimônio edificado recente. Cresce o número de conjuntos urbanos e edificações do século XX reconhecidos como patrimônio cultural, multiplicam-se os acervos documentais e publicações a seu respeito, acumulam-se experiências e reflexões vinculadas à sua preservação.
Nesta perspectiva, a interdisciplinaridade é fator inerente à cultura preservacionista em Arquitetura e Urbanismo. São fundamentais os aportes da História, na consolidação de narrativas críticas; da Sociologia e Antropologia, na aferição de valores culturais; da Engenharia, no diagnóstico das condições materiais dos bens; das Artes, na conservação e restauro das obras integradas a edifícios; da Geografia, no estudo das questões populacionais e regionais; da Ciência da Informação, na conservação e divulgação de acervos documentais; do Direito, na normatização dos bens patrimoniais; da Comunicação Social, no diálogo com as comunidades envolvidas.
O propósito do 9º Seminário DOCOMOMO Brasil é agregar, de modo interdisciplinar, o conjunto de práticas neste universo, compartilhando conhecimentos e consolidando princípios contribuindo eficazmente para a preservação do patrimônio cultural recente.

Tour Day 2011Docomomo Scotland Lecture
25 August 2011
DATE: 25/8/2011
Dear docomomo members and friends
I am pleased to announce the next docomomo Scotland event. This will be a talk entitled
A Socialist America – The Influence of the USA on radical architecture in the 1920s USSR and Germany, by Owen Hatherley, on
25 August 2011 at 6pm at the Hunter Lecture Theatre, Edinburgh College of Art, Lauriston Place, EH3 9DF
“The Communist leader Earl Browder once said ´Communism is Americanism´. This counter-intuitive statement fits very closely many of the architectural ideas of the left-wing avant-garde in the 1920s, who morphed a variety of commercial, Americanised forms to fit their own ends: from quasi-architectural slapstick stage sets, to hybrid skyscrapers, to Taylorised social housing. This talk will discuss the architectural avant-garde’s fixation with the dreamlike possibilities in the ´bad new things´ of their day and ask whether any insights can be learned from that today.”
Owen Hatherley, a London-based freelance writer, has recently published two books,
Militant Modernism, a defence of modernism against its defenders, and
A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain, a selection of his columns originally published in Building Design magazine. He is also a regular contributor to the Guardian and the New Statesman, and he writes his own internet blog,
Sit down man, you´re a bloody tragedy at
blog.
Mr Hatherley is currently researching a PhD thesis on Americanism in the USSR and the German Weimar Republic.

Fitch Colloquium
DATE: 31/3/2012
Following World War II, the United States and Europe sought to address the dire need for public and affordable housing through new building. The decades after war saw the development of many innovative design, construction and social arrangements. This legacy represents an important part of our collective architectural and cultural heritage but its preservation is plagued by many practical and social issues. By bringing together American and International experts, the Fitch Colloquium seeks to create a dialogue about the preservation of these buildings, which are at the intersection of social, physical, cultural and architectural values.
