DENTIFIED as a key issue for the future of environment, the argument of this docomomo
Journal is Modern and Sustainable.
docomomo acknowledges the major relevance of reecting on the Modern Movement heri-
tage, focusing on two of the main contemporary issues: economy and energy. For this reason, the
first docomomo Journal of the year 2011, that is to say, the rst docomomo Journal of the 10s, is
dedicated to this issue.
In fact, Modern Movement Architecture is envisioned as a concept that deals with forms, spaces,
techniques and social responsibility. In this docomomo Journal, the contributions on this discussion
put together modernity and Modern heritage, economy and energy saving, the social mission and the
responsibility of architects towards the future.
Modern Movement is often mistakenly related to a style, perceived in a skindeep point of view and
supercially adopted as simple form, as a modern shape, when in fact Modern Movement has always
shown great concern with such issues, seeking for eficiency and economy, i.e., an accurate use of mate-
rials, a design approach that incorporates intelligent saving resources in order to create a better world.
This concept is nowadays synthesized in the socalled Sustainability, whose misuse might have
lead sometimes to a trivialization of the word. Thats why the identied theme to focus on is Modern
Movement as the absolute primacy of the process over the style, looking for quality of life. The de-
vices created to be efcient according to place and climate, the reection made on building physics,
the relation between heritage, energy and economy, are themes to be discussed both as Modern
Movement concepts, on a documentation level, and as Modern Movement intervention nowadays,
on a conservation level. After all, ideals that move docomomo between documentation and
conservation.
The aim is to contribute for the discussion that relates heritage, economic constraints and energy
issues, gathered underneath a global strategy for the future in order to fullll a Modern Movement
purpose: a better life quality for all!
I wish to thank Theo Prudon who acted as guest editor of this Modern and Sustainable dossier.
Due to his commitment, knowledge and knowhowacquired within a transversal framework as a
practitioner architect, researcher and professorand his clearsighted capacity of synthesizing and
nding solutions, together with the knowledge shared by a range of researchers, in connection with
pioneer academic research on the subject carried out by Columbia, Cornell, cole Polytechnique
Fdrale in Lausanne, it is possible to extend this debate over the reection on the creation itself and
its durability, the tools created by Modern Movement architects to answer to efciency and economy
in a sustainable way.
Seeking sustainable solutions is also the way we choose to envisage the Survival of Modern. From
coffee cup to plan, the main concept of the 12
th
International docomomo Conference which will
take place in Espoo, Finland, from the 7
th
to the 10
th
August 2012. The Conference themes will range
from Environment and Urban Space large scale to the discussion on creation and its consciously opera-
tive conservation as Modern Heritagethe global design issueand the relevance of furnishing in the
adequacy of everyday environment space. These are certainly challenging issues that may support us,
both undertaking an innovative conservation research and practice, and formulating new ideas for the
future of the built environment based on the past experiences of Modern Movement Architecture as a
condition for building a better future.

In this global and often confusing discussion on the
sustainability of Modern Movement architecture and par-
ticularly Modernist architecturein many peoples minds
epitomized by the modern curtain wallis seen as bad
environmental design. While it is argued that many of
these buildings were created when energy was cheap
and abundant, it is equally important to recognize that
energy use was then only a fraction of what is needed or
desired today.
3
The greater demand is partially the result
of changes in perceptions of comfort, but also as a result
of the explosion in the use and application of all sorts
of equipment and electrical devices thatpresumably
make our lives more comfortable or enjoyable.
Focusing entirely on those early curtain walls is nei-
ther doing justice to the level of awareness and concern
that existed in the design and construction profession at
the time, nor the efforts that were being made to achieve
efficient and effective solutions. No selfrespecting ar-
chitect in the immediate postwar period would not take
into account such basic considerations as orientation or
exposure. Many drawings of that era, particular for tropi-
cal or subtropical climates, would not only show on its
plans the orientation and the direction of the prevailing
winds but also adapt the plans and elevations according-
ly. The popularity and architectural use of the brisesoleil,
large pivoted doors or large overhangs, to give just a few
examples, were by no means accidental or mere stylistic
accessories.
Before discussing the articles presented in this journal
it is necessary to reflect on some of the fundamental dilem-
mas that exist. Materiality and permanence have played
important roles in preservation theory, particularly in the
context of material authenticity as well as durability as
it pertains to the sustainability discourse. Permanence
C
ONCERN for the environment and a focus on
the conservation of our natural resources have in
general over the last couple of decades, entered
into the dialogue around architecture and preservation.
1

In the last decade this focused more specifically on the
more recent architecture. In some instances, the discus-
sion about sustainability has begun to overshadow the
preservation issues. Many countries have developed
elaborate rating systems for buildings, whether new or
old, that take into account a large number of factors
to gauge and assess their impact. While these systems
are intended to assist in deciding what actions can and
should be undertaken, the discussion has remained quite
limited and largely focused on the operational aspects
of buildings and on new construction. The purpose of this
issue of the Journal is not only to broaden the dialogue
and the discussion about sustainability, but to include a
much broader array of intrinsic values, and also to bring
attention to the fact that there is much early research on
building envelop performance.
The terminology surrounding our concerns for the nat-
ural and built environments is itself fraught with compli-
cations and, moreover, has changed over the last three
decades as interests and concerns evolved. Sustainability
is the term most commonly used in the English language
today and describes an attitude as well as an approach
to design, construction and operational issues. However,
in the context of preservation, it is important to expand
the meaning of the term to include not just the narrow
operational concerns but also what it takes to sustain our-
selves on more than just the physical level.
2
The slogan
the most sustainable building is one that exists is often
used in the USechoed in this issue in Ivo Hammers ar-
ticleand is a valid but too limited argument.
The Modern Movement
and Sustainability:
Yesterday, Today and in
the Future
By Theodore Prudon

The Modern Movement and Sustainability: Yesterday, Today and in the Future docomomo 44 2011/1
Using examples and quotations from various authors
ranging from Gropius to AdaLouise Huxtable, a well
known architectural critic for the New York Times, he
seeks to establish that intellectual framework.
In many ways the article by Joo Vieira Caldas
Design with Climate in Africa: the world of galleries, brise
soleil and Beta windows proves that point. Focusing on
a series of schools built in Angola and Mozambique he
describes the work of young Portuguese architects in
these former Portuguese colonies. Orientation, massing,
the use of overhangs, galleries and brisesoleils are the
design tools and vocabulary used to achieve climatically
the most effective solutions. Not only shading but particu-
larly cross ventilation (presumably to the prevailing wind
directions although the article does not specifically refers
to it) are the most important features. The Beta window is
a commercial louvered window type that provided both
the opportunity for shading and cross ventilation. The
description of the school buildings is reminiscent of the
work of other architects of the period in the Caribbean,
7

Africa or, for instance, Richard Neutras schools in Puerto
Rico.
8
The author, somewhat rightfully, bemoans the fact
of how the addition of mechanical ventilation systems in
a few of the buildings has not only affected the appear-
ance but, more importantly, made the original design con-
cept entirely ineffective. The practice of either installing
socalled package units in all sorts of individual locations
or introducing a more centralized system by creating a
box within a box eliminating entirely the advantages of
the original cross ventilation [figure 1]. Individual cooling
units have become ubiquitous in many of the early mod-
ernist buildings.
The contribution Building Physics and its performance
in Modern Movement Architecture by Jos Tomlow pres-
ents the other part of the early design puzzle. In many
ways, early modern architects anticipated and sought
to address scientifically the building performance prob-
lems, which are the same issues discussed so prominently
today in the literature.
9
Because so many of these early
proponents worked in northern Europe, the emphasis was
on heating and thus insulation. However, Tomlow also
points out correctly that this represents the emergence of
what the Europeans called Building Physics, not only as a
discipline and a serious academic science, but also as the
beginning of formulating standards (the full implication
of the German word Normalisierung is not easily trans-
lated into English). His focus is primarily on the European
continent but parallels in other countries could probably
be found [figures 2, 3].
Modern and Green: heritage, energy and econo-
my by Franz Graf and Giulia Marino reports on a pi-
lot project in a satellite precinct of Geneva built in the
and thus durability of buildings and building construction
is not always encountered in these Modern structures,
where functional specificity and experimentation with
materials are seen as integral to their concepts. This leads
to arguments that these structures are fundamentally tem-
poral and were not intended to remain. This is in many
instances a gross simplification and the very fact that they
remain would seem to indicate their relative durability.
The other issue often raisedalthough not within this
journalin the discussion about preserving Modern archi-
tecture, concerns the idea of functional obsolescence. In
other words, buildings that are tailormade for particular
functions become easily and quickly operationally, tech-
nically and economically redundant when those functions
change. By being in turn tied into return on investment,
permanence and durability are not necessarily promoted
beyond the investment term unless the building can be
recycled, which requires reinvestment.
4
It is there that by
comparing the existing structure with a new building the
argument often made is that building new is more efficient
and sustainable. The idea that buildings have limited func-
tional life spans is not new and is something that appears
early in the preservation related literature.
5
This per-
ceived obsolescence, which may have been predicted
or desired, provides an impetus to build new, but would
seem to be contradictory to the sustainability concept.
However, given that so much of our economies are based
on consumption and turnoverrepresenting as much as
seventy percent of GDP in the USdurability may not be
considered that desirable. Also with the strong emphasis
on operational and performance efficiencies for both the
interior and the exterior the intrinsic value of the original
fabric is frequently discounted.
The articles in this Journal address sustainability not
in the currently conventional sense, but rather address
different issues that have to do with performance and
retention of buildings as a functioning part of the built
environment. It also seeks to acknowledge the skills and
thoughtfulness of those early architects paying attention
to what is called here building physics or the science and
technology seeking to optimize the performance of the
building and its exterior envelop.
Carl Stein titles his article, somewhat provocatively,
Greening Modernism. He argues that the pioneers of
the Modern Movement provided us with all the tools or
design processes, as he calls them, for resolving the is-
sues in the search for sustainability. In his book with the
eponymous title, he states:
While Modernism does not, in itself, offer new design tools
for buildings reuse and historic preservation, it does pro-
vide a very clear framework for the appropriate application
of these tools.

docomomo 44 2011/1 The Modern Movement and Sustainability: Yesterday, Today and in the Future
aimed at maintaining as much of the original as possible,
not only for historic and cultural reasons, but because the
payback for more intrusive or far reaching interventions
would be very far out in the future.
The Lignon project aims at reducing energy consump-
tion through visually minimal interventions. The projects of
the students in the 3
rd
year architecture graduate studio
of Cornell University seek to employ all modern tools in
studying the energy use and impact on wellbeing in all
aspects of a building. Not limiting it to wall studies but
also addressing noise, light, glare and comfort levels that
make interior and exterior spaces more comfortable and
contribute to our overall sense of wellbeing. While the
level of interventions may be well beyond what preserva-
tionists would deem appropriate, it is an interesting and
innovative way of approaching the performance of archi-
tectural icons such as the Seagram Building or the Ford
Foundation Building in New York City.
Although most of the articles in this issue have focused
on systems, it is not the only factor to be considered. The
last two articles return to the beginning of this introduc-
tion and its discussion of materials. Ivo Hammers The
1960s in response to the postwar growth in population
is a more contemporary example of the same discipline
that Tomlow identified. The Laboratory for Techniques
and Preservation of Modern Architecture, located in the
cole Polytechnique Fdrale in Lausanne, looked at the
problem of the performance of the 1960s outer skin. Ap-
propriate interventions were developed in the context of
the Swiss initiative of the 2000 Watts Society referring
to a goal of energy use of 2000 Watts only by 2050
(for comparison the current average in Western Europe is
6000 Watts, while the US uses some 12,000 Watts). The
project itself was guided by a Swiss Federal policy docu-
ment titled: Recommendations on Improving Energy
Consumption in Historic Monuments from which the au-
thors quote an important sentence that is worth repeating:
...heritage and energy are both legitimate issues; they share
essentially the same concerns and seek the same out-
comes: supporting sustainable development by preserving
nonreplaceable natural and cultural resources...

Program for Historic Preservation and a practicing architect in New York

Tugendhat House: between artisan tradition and techno-
logical innovation. Preservation as sustainable building
policy focuses initially on the premodern craft and the
quality of its finishes in this modernist building. He argues
at the end of his article that not only the materials but also
the craft is worth preserving because they reflect a differ-
ent type of sustainability: the authenticity of the original
material, the craft it represents and being the most sustain-
able simply because it already exists.
Over the years we have used many different materials
with great optimism for their durability and applicability,
only to discover their deleterious effects years or even
centuries later. Lead, lead paint or asbestos are the ex-
amples with a long use but serious impact that are best
known to us. Asbestos as a material in building manuals
or lead paint were in most instances not abandoned till
the 1970s. Once their impact on health was recognized
these materials were replaced without much concern
from a preservation or authenticity point of view. How-
ever, these may not be the only examples that we will
have to face with modern architecture and construction
introducing many different and new materials. As an ex-
ample one of the more traditional and wellrespected
materials that has become the subject of some scrutiny
and regulatory action in Europe and California is copper.
Copper does not directly affect humans but may have
a negative effect on aquatic life. In the last contribution,
Amy Swift looks at the copper cladding of Frank Lloyd
Wrights Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Because
the building is freestanding its runoff into the ground
could easily be monitored. While the case study may not
necessarily identify copper as a source of great concern,
the study does pose two important questions that may be
applicable to many other situations. First, at what point
does the general well being or quality of life trump the
authenticity of the material, particularly when the impact
is not immediate but long term and is not easily quantified.
Secondly how many other materials should we be con-
cerned about and how much do we consider this even to-
day, when we design or specify new materials for either
old or new buildings.
The authors of the articles (in this issue) highlight each
in their own way significant issues. They all illustrate how
nuanced and broad the concept of sustainability is and
must be. It is not just about carbon or trees but it must be
integral to all the decisions we make. Moreover, archi-
tects, preservationists, conservators and others involved
in the preservation of the built environment, with their
much more extensive knowledge about buildings, materi-
als and their use, have an important role to play. Hope-
fully this issue and its articles help in leading the way.

Call for Papers
docomomo invites architects, researchers,
historians and other parties involved in the pro-
cess of preservation, conservation, renovation or
transformation of modern towns and buildings to
investigate on the theme: The Survival of Modern
From Coffee Cup to Plan. The proposed theme gives
an opportunity to discuss Modern architecture and
townplanning from a holistic point of view. The
concepts of space and scale in Modern architec-
ture are challenged in an age of new ecological
and economical needs for more building density
and energysaving technical solutions. The theme
also builds on and adds to the themes of previous
docomomo conferences.
The concept of space in architecture and town
planning has changed radically during the last
hundred years. The modernist vision of townscape
opened up the closed urban surroundings of the 19
th

century with dramatic consequences. The introduc-
tion of new building materials and prefabricated
building techniques infuenced the architecture
whereas the uses of zoning in dividing urban land-
scape to separate functions and neighbourhood
unit concept in organizing suburban areas led to a
new paradigm in urban planning.
All this has had a great impact on us, not only
from architectural point of view, but also through
changes in the relationship between nature and
the built environment, development of urban infra-
structure, and developments in environmental psy-
chology and its uses and misuses in planning. The
four subthemes examine the concept of space and
design in four different scales and offer views on
how the fundamental urban qualities of modernism
can be preserved and what they have to offer for
contemporary planning.
1. Environment
What is a good living environment? What is the
sense today of preserving modern heritage?
Points of interest: environmental psychology, scale,
urban density, nature and environment, challenges
of sustainable development, landscape architec-
ture, architecture of the infrastructures.
2. Urban Space
How to protect and improve modern urban space?
Points of interest: the ideal of openness and the
contemporary requirements for sustainable devel-
opment, ecologically and economically motivated
requirements for density, challenge of sustainable
urban planning. The form of the modern city in the
scope of a social responsible approach.
docomomo Suomi/Finland will host the 12
th
docomomo International Conference in Espoo, in 2012.
Espoo is part of the greater metropolitan Helsinki area and parts of the conference program are held over
the capital region. The Conference is hosted by the City of Espoo and Espoo City Museum and realized in
collaboration with public and private organizations, the principal ones being the Alvar Aalto Foundation,
the City of Helsinki, Museum of Finnish Architecture, The National Board of Antiquities, the Architectural
Department of Aalto University, the Ministry of Culture and Education and the Ministry of Environment.
The Conference coincides with the Helsinki region being the World Design Capital 2012, with numerous
events and exhibitions dealing with design in all its aspects.

th
docomomo Brazil Conference had
as chief subject Interdisciplinarity and experi-
ences in documentation and preservation of recent
heritage and was opened with a tribute to Brazilian
architect Jos Galbinski, author of several Brasilias
modern masterpieces. As key lecturers, it was
honored with the presence of docomomo
International Chair Ana Tostes (IST, Universidade
Tcnica, Lisboa), docomomo US President
Theodore Prudon (Columbia University, New York),
Mrio Mendona (Universidade Federal da Bahia,
Salvador), Luis Mauro Freire (Escola Da Cidade, So
Paulo), Cyro Correa Lyra (National Monuments, Rio
de Janeiro), Alfredo Gastal (National Monuments,
Braslia), Alfonso Corona Martnez (Universidad
de Belgrano, Buenos Aires), Jorge Silvetti (Har-
vard University, Cambridge, Mass.). The two latter
also integrated, along with docomomo Chile
President Horacio Torrent, the special round table
Braslia and the modern monumentality, chaired by
docomomo Brazil President Carlos Eduardo
Dias Comas.
A foremost aim of the Conference was to congre-
gate contributions from several felds of knowledge
committed to the documentation and preservation
of cultural propertiessuch as Geography, History,
Restoration, Arts, Economy, Law. This objective
was achieved owing to 120 contributions distrib-
uted according to three thematic axes: experiences
on documentation, experiences on preservation,
and refections on recent heritage. Over 400 partici-
pants attended the conference, many of then from
other countries, as Argentina, Mexico, Portugal,
Spain and England.
Activities also included an international precon-
ferencewith the theme What to consider as recent
heritage? Readings of dwelling space and perspec-
tives of comparative studies; a workshopproduc-
ing, with the kind contribution of Theodore Prudon,
a chart of guidelines for the preservation of Cine
Brasilia, a landmark movie theater designed by Os-
car Niemeyer in 1958; momotourstwelve guided
tours to buildings ranging from wellknown modern
monuments by Brazilian architects to outstand-
ing works by foreign authors; a movie premire,
and the release of books and of docomomo
Journal 43, dedicated to Brasilia. During the con-
ference, docomomo Brazil Chapter signed a
cooperation agreement with the Lucio Costa School
for Monument Management, in Brazilian National
Monuments.
The conference was organized by the doco-
momo Braslia Chapter and the School of Archi-
tecture and Urban Design (Universidade de Braslia),
together with the docomomo Brazil Chapter
and with fnancial support of the National Council
of Science and Technology Development (CNPq).
Conducted by local docomomo members
Danilo Matoso Macedo, Sylvia Ficher, Elcio Gomes
da Silva and Andrey Schlee, it was achieved thanks
to the dedication and teamwork of over 20 collabo-
rators and 30 undergraduate students.

th
2011, UNESCO announced that
forty two remarkable and cultural proper-
ties from forty countries would be considered for
the World Heritage List.
At the annual committee meeting which took
place from 19 to 29 June 2011 to select the sites
that would be placed on the list, 25 new additions
were announced, including the Fagus Factory by
Walter Gropius, but the application for the inclusion
of Le Corbusier architectural work was deferred,
referring the decision to the next committee meet-
ing. (Decisions adopted at the 35th session of the
World Heritage Committee: whc.unesco.org/en/
sessions/35COM).
On June 28
th
, Marc Petit, President of the As-
sociation des Sites Le Corbusier, made a press re-
lease where he noted the decision and said that the
partners, experts, the Fondation Le Corbusier and
the countries (Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Japan
and Switzerland) involved in the association, would
continue working on the new recommendations of
the World Heritage Committee. The Association
will also explore what has failed, as the impression
was that they had already met the expectations
of the World Heritage Committee. Alongside the
dossiers technical and scientifc aspects, it seems
indeed necessary that the cohesion of the group
of countries involved is better fulflled. Marc Petit
continued, stating that it is incomprehensible that
the nomination was not submitted at any time to
the vote of the 21 countries comprising the World
Heritage Committee. The Fondation Le Corbusier,
the Association of Sites Le Corbusier and many im-
portant authors of the dossier were never involved
with this decision and the result is of great disap-
pointment. Marc Petit agrees that a diplomatic work
with the ambassadors of the countries that are part
of the Committee is necessary. Moreover, given the
discussion at the meeting of June 28 of the Com-
mittee, there was a real chance to get registration
and then consecration, but member countries fol-
lowed the recommendations of France (following
the unfavourable opinion rendered by ICOMOS) to
propose a delay instead of the inclusion. (Complete
press release: https://sites.google.com/a/sites-le-
corbusier.org/association/).
On January 14
th
2011, Ana Tostes, Chair of
docomomo International, joined the meeting
Journe dtudes sur le projet dinscription sur la
liste du patrimoine mondial de luvre architectura-
le de Le Corbusier. Une contribution exceptionnelle
au Mouvement Moderne, organized by ICOMOS
France, which took place at the Institut National
du Patrimoine in Paris, together with Christiane
Schmckle-Mollard, Tim Benton, Jean-Louis Cohen,
Nicolas Faucherre, Grard Monnier and Gilles Ragot
who presented Le Corbusier WHL candidacy Dossier
which comprises 19 works by Le Corbusier built
in Argentina, Belgium-Flanders, France, Germany,
Japan and Switzerland.
Ana Tostes stated for the recognition and the
conservation of Modern Movement culture within
the World Heritage Committee. She defended the
importance of Le Corbusiers worldwide work,
stressing the fact that it represents Modern Move-
ment architecture as a critical process in perma-
nent transformation. Considering the international
character of the Modern Movement as its DNA, she
underlined this dimension in Le Corbusiers work
understood today as a worldwide architectural
Modern Movement heritage. Therefore, the Le Cor-
busier serial list purpose responds to this universal
dimension. The intense role of Le Corbusier reveals
the synthesis between techniques, spaces and

forms in the search for a better living environment.
His work embodies this universal dimension always
linked with the time.
Jean-Louis Cohen highlighted the international
or transnational dimension of Le Corbusiers work
which can be understood by his condition of
Jurassien (in an unstable balance between the
Germanic and the Roman cultures which marked
his personality); the generation of architects he
belonged to (the railway, the steamship and the air-
plane made them international and even transcon-
tinental experts); his architecture offce practice
(international collaborators); and his written work
(translated to different languages and creating an
important link between France, Germany and Swit-
zerland).
Grard Monnier spoke about Le Corbusiers rela-
tionship with mass housing and regretted that we
are not yet in a position to share our belief in the
importance of the history of architecture. He asked
himself if institutions such as ICOMOS would have
listened to the proposal if it had been presented
starting with the architects social history.
Tim Benton hoped that the postponement of
UNESCO and the World Heritage Committee decision
to focus on the importance of Le Corbusiers work
for the Modern Movement would not be an ambush.
He considered Le Corbusier the most passionate
critic of the Modern Movement, emphasizing one of
his most important creative aspects: his way of be-
ing a critic of his own architecture and very critic of
the architecture of his contemporaries. He said that
it was important to stress this aspect in the dossier
as Le Corbusier was somebody capable of renew-
ing himself at every moment. Regarding universal
values, Benton recalled the existing debate on their
existence and how it also involves the proposal list
because Le Corbusier believed in universalism and
the universal value of architecture. He wanted to
create a permanent architecture and he had abso-
lute faith in the universal value of architecture and
did not believe in rules but, instead, in universal
principles. He fnished by stating that the universal
value of Le Corbusier does not lie in his professional
approach or his impact on other architects but his
infuence on people all over the World. This is how
his work should be presented.

Fagus Factory in Alfeld is a 10-building complex - began around 1910 to the design of Walter Gropius,
which is a landmark in the development o Mmodern architecture and industrial design. Serving all
stages of manufacture, storage and dispatch of lasts used by the shoe industry, the complex, which is still
operational today, is situated in Alfeld an der Leine in Lower Saxony. With its groundbreaking vast ex-
panses of glass panels and functionalist aesthetics, the complex foreshadowed the work of the Bauhaus
school and is a landmark in the development of architecture in Europe and North America.

UNESCO
Intergovernmental Meeting of Experts
Draft Recommendation on the
Conservation of the Historic
Urban Landscape
Paris, UNESCO Headquarters,
25 27 May 2011
docomomo International was invited to attend
the InterGovernmental Meeting of Experts (cat-
egory II) on the Conservation of the Historic Urban
Landscape. Agnes Cailliau, Chair of docomomo
France, represented docomomo in this impor-
tant event.
According to the Rules of Procedure concern-
ing Recommendations to Member States and In-
ternational Conventions, the Member States were
requested to submit their comments on the First
Draft text to UNESCO by 25 December 2010 and
these comments, incorporated in a Revised Draft
text, were presented and discussed at the meeting
with Representatives of Member States of UNESCO.
On Friday 27 May a fnal Draft text of a new UNESCO
Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape
was fnalized and adopted by the Expert Meeting.
This fnal Draft text will be submitted to UNESCOs
General Conference, at its 36
th
session in October/
November 2011, for adoption. Approximately 60
Member States participated in the InterGovern-
mental Expert Meeting. On Friday 27 May during the
afternoon a discussion took place on the inclusion
of a glossary of terms, which should explain a num-
ber of technical terms appearing in the Final Draft
text of the new Recommendation, as well as on
the status of the accompanying Action Plan. It was
agreed that the Action Plan should not form part of
the new Recommendation, but be part of the Draft
Resolution to be submitted by the Secretariat to the
General Conference.

ICOMOS and Ivan Blasi, Secretary of docomo-
mo International, attended this meeting in which
the 20112014 working program was discussed.
One of the important issues presented at the meet-
ing was the ICOMOS Tool Kit for World Heritage Site
Monitoring Indicators. This document outlines the
importance of monitoring World Heritage Sites by
use of measurable indicators of change. Primary
and secondary indicators are identifed and exam-
ples of how these can be used should be provided.
A next meeting could take place during docomo-
mos International Conference in Finland in 2012.
The second part of the meeting was focused on
the International Conference that took place from
June 14 to 16, and which discussed the need for the
development of the Intervention Principles for 20
th

Century Architectural Heritage. The keynote speak-
ers invited to this event were Fulvio Irace, Michael
Speaks, Francesco dal Co, Ron van Oers, Alvaro Siza
and Ana Tostes, Chair of docomomo Interna-
tional.
The conclusions of this Conference provided a
broad starting point for approaches for intervention
in the 20
th
Century architectural heritage and they
were expressed in The Madrid Document which
was presented by Sheridan Burke.
Following the Conference, a feld inspection trip
to Cordoba took place together with a meeting with
the Architecture University.

American Glamour and
the Evolution of Modern
Architecture
By Alice T. Friedman
Publisher: Yale University Press, New

ISBN: 9780300116540
Language: English
Year: 2010
T
his fascinating book by Alice Friedman provides
new insight into the development and accep-
tance of what we now so often and somewhat
erroneously call midcentury modernism. She
discusses not only different building typologies
and some of the starchitects of the time but also,
more importantly, places them in the social and cul-
tural context of the postwar era. While preservation
is not specifcally discussed, the glamour of the ar-
chitecture as Friedman presents it may explain why
highstyle magazines and publications continue to
be captivated by the period.
Architecture of the Sun: Los

ith over 745 pages and numerous illus-
trations in both black & white and color,
Architecture of the Sun is probably the most com-
plete history of modernism in Los Angeles. Not only
is the book comprehensive with every major archi-
tect included, but also the language is understand-
able and free of archispeak, which is unusual in so
much of architectural writing today.

T
his special number of the Arquitectnica maga-
zine is the result of a selection of 15 papers
made by an editorial committee involved in the In-
ternational docomomo Conference which took
place in Mexico City in 2011.
The diffusion of architectural culture can not be
done in one single way. It is important to join efforts
between education, communication, government,
and civil society institutions, to reach a collective
effort that will beneft the preservation of tradition-
al bastions and the creation of new examples of the
creative activity of a society.
That is why it is so important that the Depart-
ment of Architecture has devoted a special edition
of Arquitectnica to the issues presented in the In-
ternational Congress organized by docomomo
Mexico, an extraordinary effort of interinstitutional
work where the Universidad Nacional Autnoma de
Mxico, the Universidad Iberoamericana, A.C., the
Universidad Anhuac, the Consejo Nacional para la
Cultura y las Artes, the Instituto Nacional de Bellas
Artes, the Secretara de Desarrollo Social, the Es-
cuela Nacional de Artes Plsticas and the Sociedad
Mexicana de Arquitectos have converged. [...]
This publication is a vehicle not only to commu-
nicate but also to educate about these changes and
the vicissitudes which made them possible. In to-
days world, where you must go beyond technology
and understand the economic, social and symbolic
fows of life, spaces must be redesigned in a con-
tinuous and not episodic way, understanding the
operation rather than just the appearance (John
Thakara, In the Bubble, 2006).

Climate and Architecture
By Torben Dahl

ISBN: 9780415563086
Language: English
Year: 2010
I
n connection with the exhibition of the same title,
the book was written by several researchers in
close association with the Institute of Architectural
Technology and edited by Torben Dahl. Its most
important message is that an analysis of the local
climatic conditions and an involvement of the quiet
climatic adaptation, being in the traditional archi-
tecture of the very same environment, imply a rich
and unexploited architectural potential.
In the universe of architecture it is often neces-
sary to go further than to the direct challenges and
immediate solutions to fnd answers, matching the
complexity in such important questions like the in-
terrelations between the built environment, its tech-
nology, the resources, and the surrounding climate.

Engineered Transparency.
The Technical, Visual and
Spatial Effects of Glass
By Michael Bell and Jeannie Kim
Publisher: Princeton, New York
ISBN: 9781568987989
Language: English
Year: 2009
G
lass was one of the most important architec-
tural materials in early modern architecture
and remains so today. While many studies look at
either the visual aspects or the technical require-
ments, this publication, which is the outcome of a
two day long conference at Columbia Universitys
Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Pres-
ervation in 2009, does both.
Glass is one of the most ubiquitous and extensively
researched building materials. Despite the critical
role it has played in Modern architecture in the last
century, we have yet to fully comprehend the cul-
tural and technological effects of this complex and
sophisticated building material.
Engineered Transparency brings together a multi-
disciplinary group of international architects, en-
gineers, manufacturers, and critics to collectively
reconsider glass within the context of recent en-
gineering and structural achievements. In light of
these advancements, glass has re-emerged as a
novel architectural material, offering new and pre-
viously unimaginable modes of visual pleasure and
spatial experience.
The book is a portfolio of various glass projects
including SANAAs Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Mu-
seum of Art, Yoshio Taniguchis MoMA extension
in New York City, and Steven Holls Nelson-Atkins
Museum in Kansas City, along with contributions
from Antoine Picon, Reinhold Martin, Richard To-
masetti and Steven Holl. Engineered Transparency
redefnes glass as a 21st century building material
and challenges our assumptions about its aesthetic,
structural, and spatial potential.

Ernesto Nathan Rogers:
Continuit e Contemporaneit
By Eugenia Lpez Reus
Publisher: Marinotti, Milan
ISBN: 9788882731045
Language: Italian
Year: 2010
T
o mark the centenary of his birth, Marinotti has
published Ernesto Nathan Rogers: continuit e
contemporaneit written by the Barcelona based
professor and researcher Eugenia Lopez Reus. The
title is already a letter of intent: the thought and
work of Rogers is in full force in the era of global-
ization.
The rogerian position, explicit in Cassabella
editorials and in his built work with the group
BBPR, became a modern longhaul thanks to the
setting, already then, of a certain distance from
the founding period of the 1920s. Rogers had to
professionally deal with Italian and European recon-
struction works after World War II. Provided with
an nonideologized pragmatism, he managed to
reconcile history and tradition with the demands of
modern creativity and managed to highlight the role
docomomo44.indd 93 28/08/11 18:55

of architecture in the urban and community image.
The continuit that Lopez Reus brings out in her
book bridges between past and present, between
the isolated building and the whole city and even
the country, while putting in value the legacy of
the masters of Modernism, such as Gropius, Le
Corbusier and Mies, along with other predecessors
not suffciently valued still today such as Henry van
de Velde.

Preservation, Sustainability &

ith much of our interest in design and con-
struction focused on sustainability, the
preservation of modern architecture has become
a subject of much discussion. Buildings created in
what author Carl Stein refers to as the petroleum
era are coming particularly under much scrutiny
and in turn becoming the victim of negative percep-
tions and opinions. In his new book Stein seeks to
address these issues in a broader historical and
comprehensive context. Aside from the more gen-
eral discussion of sustainability and energy, he sees
Modernism not solely as a problem but part of the
solution. Or, in his own words: While Modernism
does not, in itself, offer new design tools for build-
ing reuse and historic preservation, it does provide
a very clear framework for the appropriate applica-
tion of these tools.

hile not specifcally addressing modern
architecture, the book certainly looks at a
modern problem. With planning and city planning
being one of the disciplines that emerges fully after
World War II when many (European) cities had to
be rebuilt, planning as it was experienced in the
1960s and 1970s in the US in the era of urban
renewal has come under much attack. The rise of
socalled New Urbanismconventional planning in
a traditional dresshas again focused attention on
the importance of planning livable cities, which this
book does.

his extensively illustrated book accompanied
the exhibit Promises of Paradise: Staging Mid-
century Miami, which was frst mounted in the
Bass Museum of Art in Miami and subsequently
in Samuel P. Harn Museum in Gainesville in 2008.
While the exhibit was managed by Ruth Grim of the
Bass and cocurated by Allan Shulman and Tome
Hine, the book was edited by Shulman, who is a
practicing architect in Miami, a faculty member of
the University of Miami School of Architecture and
an active member of docomomo US/FLA. This
lavishly illustrated work, which contains a series
of essays about the various aspects of the devel-
opment of Miami in the postwar period, is in many
ways the culmination of a recognition and preser-
vation process of modern architecture in Miami
that began as early as the 1970s with its Art Deco
hotels. Not surprisingly the majority of the essays,
several of which are the work of docomomo
members JeanFranois Lejeune, Anthony J. Ab-
bate and Alice Friedman, highlights its residential
and hotel architecture but also brings attention to

the growth and openspirited ethos of the region

Sustainable Preservation:
Greening Existing Buildings
By Jean Carroon
Publisher: Wiley, Hoboken
ISBN: 9780470169117
Language: English
Year: 2010
S
ustainable development, greening architecture
and preservation are all words that have be-
come common in our language. However, what it
exactly means in real practical terms is by no means
always clear. Sustainable Preservation seeks to do
that by presenting some of the theoretical con-
structs and terms in conjunction with some relevant
case studies for each category. The book is divided
in three parts: Overview, Targeted Resource Conser-
vation and, the last part, titled Of Note, which in-
cludes a section on best practices. The preservation
of modern architecture and the conversion of 20
th

century buildings are being addressed in a number
of the case studies throughout the book but particu-
lar at the end with a small section of the recent past.
The book is profusely illustrated in mostly black and
white but with a center insert of particular projects
in color.
Tomorrows Houses:
New England Modernism
By Alexander Gorlin and Geoffrey
Gross
Publisher: Rizzoli, New York
ISBN: 9780847833993
Language: English
Year: 2011
W
hile the cover of the book sports the ubiq-
uitous photo of Philip Johnsons Glass
House in New Canaan, the inside of the book covers
a wide range of mostly modernist houses in New
England. Starting with Purcell & Elmslies Bradley
Bungalow in Woods Hole (a 1912 Prairie Style
house in New England), the book concludes with
Richard Meiers 1967 Smith House in Darien. Inbe-
tween these two are houses by famous and some
lesser known architects. An introduction by Alex-
ander Gorlin provides the historic context for resi-
dential architecture in New England, and each case
study is accompanied by short descriptions as well
as small (but very useful) plans. The major strength
of the book is the superb color photography by Geof-
frey Gross, who has done similar books about other
styles of architecture, such as his Dutch Colonial
Homes in America. It is precisely these photographs,
in striking color, that debunk the misconception that
modern architecture is purely monochromatic.

his book inaugurates the publication of Quad-
erni dellAccademia di Architettura, Mendrisio/
Papers of the Academy of Architecture, Mendrisio,
an annual journal which intends to show the de-
bate that animates the cultural exchanges within
the Academia di Architettura di Mendrisio, in both
the theoretical and design matters. This frst issue
focuses on the reuse of architectural heritage, a
themethat of the recovery of architectural heri-
tage, and particularly that of Modern Movement
architecturethat is becoming central to contempo-
rary practice and theory.
The frst part presents essays focused on the de-
bate that justify the re-use concept, followed by a
section which includes some works showing case
studies that highlight the different strategies of
the relationship between new design and heritage.
A last article states information on the research
project Encyclopedia critical to the reuse and res-
toration of twentieth century which confrms how
the recovery of the built heritage of the 20
th
century
represents nowadays an unavoidable challenge for
architecture.
