Welcome on the website of DOCOMOMO Curaçao, an official working party of DOCOMOMO, the international organization that aims to enhance the documentation and conservation of the Modern Movement worldwide.

 

 

 

Docomomo's working party on the island of Curaçao consists of a group of volunteers with knowledge of and enthusiasm for the Modern Movement. To promote public interest in the Modern Movement they organize lectures and walking tours and initiate advocacy efforts to protect endangered sites and buildings. Committed to the principle that modern design merits the attention and preservation received by earlier periods, they maintain a continuous and constructive dialogue with national, state and local preservation authorities and organizations as well as with owners, developers, and designers in many disciplines.

 

 

On February 6th 2012 there was a guided tour organised at the Mgr. Verriet Instituut (Gerrit Rietveld).
