II. Our main goals

DOCOMOMO´s main goals are brought together in the Eindhoven statement which was issued at the conclusion of the founding conference in 1990.  It was updated in Seoul, 2014, where it was approved the Eindhoven-Seoul Statement.
DOCOMOMO Belgium’s main goals are based on these statements:

– Bring the significance of the (interior)architecture of the Modern Movement to the attention of the public, the authorities, the professionals and the educational community concerned with the built environment.
– Identify and promote the surveying of the works of the Modern Movement.
– Promote the conservation and (re)use of buildings and sites of the Modern Movement.
– Stimulate & encourage  appropriate techniques and methods of conservation & restoration of modern heritage
– Develop initiatives to oppose destruction and disfigurement of significant works of the Modern Movement
– Foster & facilitate partnerships in research (concerning architecture, urbanism and design related to buildings, sites and neighbourhoods of the 20th century)  between  universities, schools, institutes and private institutions.
– Attract funding for documentation conservation and (re)use
– Explore and develop new ideas for the future of a sustainable built environment based on the past experiences of the Modern Movement.
– Contribute to the objectives of DOCOMOMO International

III. Formalization DOCOMOMO Belgium

In May 2011 DOCOMOMO Belgium was established as a joint organisation of DOCOMOMO Belgium Bruxelles-Wallonie asbl and DOCOMOMO Belgium Brussel-Vlaanderen vzw. Members of DOCOMOMO Belgium Bruxelles-Wallonie asbl were members of the DOCOMOMO Belgium Brussel-Vlaanderen vzw and the other way around. To simplify the organisation’s management, in February 2026 the decision was taken to restructure the legal basis, resulting in one single organisation: DOCOMOMO Belgium vzw.

The new statutes will be published soon. In the meantime, you can still consult the former ones:
