1st Docomomo PT Congress
Teaching, Reuse and Transformation of Modern Architecture and the City
Docomomo Portugal and the Department of Architecture of the University of Coimbra are pleased to announce the 1st Docomomo Portugal Congress, entitled Teaching, Reuse and Transformation of Modern Architecture and the City, which will take place at the Teatro Académico de Gil Vicente, on October 20-21, 2025.
Docomomo Portugal is the national working group of Docomomo International, the international committee dedicated to the conservation, documentation and rehabilitation of buildings, neighborhoods and urban landscapes created in the context of the architecture and urbanism of the Modern Movement.
The main objective of the congress is to promote a space for debate and sharing of ongoing research on Portuguese modern heritage, with a focus on its transformation and rehabilitation. It will be an opportunity to disseminate knowledge and promote interdisciplinary dialogues between architects, historians, designers, researchers and the general public.
The key moments of the congress will include keynote lectures by national and international architects, presenting interventions considered to be references in the context of the rehabilitation of modern architecture, and an open call for papers, inviting proposals aligned with the theme of the congress, to be presented in thematic sessions.
The aim is to publish the articles presented at the conference, either in the form of proceedings or as a special issue of a journal, with the aim of promoting the dissemination of shared knowledge at national and international level.
