Die Zukunft Der Nachkriegsmoderne

The architecture of post-war Modernism poses particular challenges for building research and heritage preservation. Should its methods be adapted to the often prefabricated nature of the buildings? How should we rate these buildings, of which there are still a great many in existence, in terms of monument preservation? What challenges does modernizing them pose? Can individual components be replaced with mass-produced items without this detracting from the building's heritage-listed status? What are the risks in relation to certain materials that have since come to be classified as toxic? What strategies of knowledge distribution should be applied for buildings of post-war Modernism? At the MONUMENTO in Salzburg in 2 8 and 2 2 , seasoned experts addressed these fundamental issues of preserving listed buildings with reference to selected projects.
