DOCOMOMO will be associated with the development and enrichment of the UIA website dedicated to 20th century architectural heritage. The UIA will invite a representative of DOCOMOMO to participate in the Architectural Education Commission’s thematic group on teaching preservation techniques for architectural heritage. The UIA will contribute to the procedure of additions to the World Heritage List by submitting opinions and propositions. The UIA will support DOCOMOMO and contribute to its Modern Movement Heritage at Risk actions. The UIA and DOCOMOMO will also develop collaboration with other organisations linked to architectural heritage on issues of common interest. |
