The Docomomo Journal

The Docomomo Journal is the only international periodical which regularly summarizes recent research on the sites and buildings of the modern movement.

This bi-annual publication, featuring articles by noted architects and architectural historians, addresses all facets of modern architecture, from history and form, to conservation and technology. It sounds the alarm for endangered buildings, and informs readers about conferences, exhibitions and research programs on the rehabilitation and conservation of twentieth century heritage.

The last section of each journal includes a complete and regularly updated directory of our international collaborators who work in universities, architecture schools, museums, and public offices for a greater awareness and preservation of the heritage of the modern movement.
