Highlights from the 18th International DOCOMOMO Conference

The 18th International DOCOMOMO Conference is now officially over, and we think back fondly to the inspiring weeks of the Student Workshop and the Conference itself. We are immensely grateful to the the hosting Chapter – DOCOMOMO Chile, host institution – Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and the Organizing Committee of the Conference, who, with the guidance of Horacio Torrent created an unforgettable Conference for all attendees and participants.

We are delighted to announce that the 19th International DOCOMOMO Conference and Student Workshop will be held in Los Angeles, California, organized by Docomomo US and the US/SoCal Chapter.
