Call for Abstracts:
Research Institution of Art and Culture at University of Tehran and Docomomo_Iran would like to invite you to the “International Conference on Conservation of 20th Century Heritage from Architecture to Landscape”. The conference will be hold in a contemporary garden in Tehran, on 23rd and 24th of April.
Similar to many countries influenced by Modern Movement, modern architecture in Iran began in the late Qajar Period and especially in Pahlavi dynasty, through the return of Iranian architects educated abroad and the arrival of European architects in Iran; making Iran home to significant number of lasting structures of Iranian and western architects. This has indeed marked the initiation of a similar development trends in Iran. Today, conservation of these important legacies is crucial and their negligence is a threat to their survival. Over the past years, Iranian authorities have also shown significant acts on these concerns, where particular attention has been paid to modern heritage for growing a trend in recognising and conserving the values of modern built heritage in Iran; through some groups of academics and professionals, establishment of new publications, groups and organisations. However, obtaining the confirmation of Modernism as heritage by all professional societies and general public remains a great challenge. You, as experts, have the vision, knowledge and experience in assisting us pave our way into the future. We would like to invite you to attend our conference and look forward to welcoming you in Tehran.
The conference will also include a tour on modern and industrial heritage of Tehran, and also a visiting tour to historic places in Isfahan.
