DOCOMOMO International is pleased to announce the Zoom Talk event Conservation Management Plan. Achievements and Possibilities, which is organized in cooperation with Bundesdenkmalamt Austria, and IDS. The event will take place on 19th January 2023, 5 pm to 8 pm CET. Registration here.
Talking about conservation management is talking about the highly professionalized administrative tools and practices in caring about our common heritage. One tool deserves special recognition insofar as its inventors tried to conceive an instrument to structure the complexity of the process of heritage conservation in a transparent and efficient way. The Conservation Management Plan (CMP) was developed 40 years ago and has been received with a lot of enthusiasm ever since. After introducing the tool and its history we present current use cases and hear about the state of conservation management in Europe. We want to conclude the evening with a discussion about the future use of Conservation Management Plans (CMP) in the field of documenting and conserving the heritage of the modern movement in architecture.
