Interior Design

INTRODUCTION

Docomomo International plays a vital role in advancing research and promoting the dissemination of knowledge concerning the conservation, documentation, and adaptive reuse of the cultural heritage of the Modern Movement. Through its global network, the organization fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and encourages innovative approaches to preserving modern architecture and urbanism.

As part of its core activities, Docomomo International coordinates the work of International Specialist Committees  (ISCs), each dedicated to a specific area of expertise. These committees bring together scholars, practitioners, and experts to address key themes and challenges in the field, such as: ISC/Registers, ISC/Technology, ISC/Urbanism+Landscape, ISC/Education+Theory and recently also ISC/Publications.

The Docomomo International Specialist Committee on Interior Design (ISC-ID) was formally established and approved during the 14th Docomomo Council Meeting, held in conjunctionwith the 14th International Docomomo Conference: Adaptive Reuse. The Modern Movement Towards the Future in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 8, 2016.

This committee was created to advance research, documentation, and preservation strategies specifically focused on design, interior architecture, furniture, and the qualities of interiority within the Modern Movement. It brings together experts and scholars to explore the cultural, historical, and design significance of modern interiors, contributing to Docomomo’s broader mission of safeguarding modern heritage.
