The DOCOMOMO Virtual Exhibition (MoMove) features a selection of buildings, sites and tours related to the Modern Movement Architecture. Created in 1988, DOCOMOMO (DOcumentation and COnservation of buildings, sites and neighborhoods of the MOdern MOvement) is a global not-for-profit organization, present in 86 countries and regions, devoted to the safeguard of this particular architectural heritage (www.docomomo.com). MoMove, as the name suggests, is an invitation to travel and visit a selection of buildings and sites. This web-based platform and database tool serves as a mapping resource for Modern Movement architecture around the globe. MoMove contains an architectural tagging system that filters the buildings by architect, city, type and decade. MoMove was created by DOCOMOMO International, Lisbon Headquarters, 2015. Since 2026 it is hosted by the Delft Headquarters and improvements are under development.

Mission

The MoMove is an effective step to accomplish the DOCOMOMO mission, as it was defined in the Eindhoven-Seoul Statement in 1989 and 2014 (https://docomomo.com/organization/). DOCOMOMO endeavors to increase public awareness of the Modern Movement, to preserve and promote the study, interpretation and protection of its architecture, landscape and urban design.

A global network of contributors

MoMove was the result of the volunteer work of DOCOMOMO members all around the world. It is important to mention that DOCOMOMO International has an open understanding of the Modern Movement which admits very different architectural expressions in accordance to the local interpretation.

DOCOMOMO is responsible for curating the exhibition, verifying all the new entries and making them public, as well as uploading files such as audio, video and short films. The individual contributors and their working parties are responsible for the written content. DOCOMOMO working parties can continue their work and improve the exhibition by adding new content and files. The complete credits of the DOCOMOMO virtual exhibition can be found here: credits
