Docomomo Ib\u00e9rico promotes debate around the 49 Modern Movement buildings on the island<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mallorca preserves an architectural legacy that, despite its relatively recent origin and everyday appearance, often goes unnoticed. It comprises dozens of buildings that trace the footprint of the Modern Movement on the island: a fragile yet decisive heritage that the Docomomo Ib\u00e9rico Foundation \u2014whose representative body in Mallorca is the COAIB\u2014 has been documenting, studying and protecting since its creation in 1993.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur task is to identify what deserves protection, explain why, debate how to intervene in these buildings and how to adapt them to the needs of contemporary society without losing their essential values,\u201d says Jaime Revuelta, board member of the College of Architects and representative of the Docomomo Ib\u00e9rico Board of Trustees in the Balearic Islands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new modern buildings that began to be constructed from 1925 onwards not only addressed new programmes and forms, but did so through experimentation with new materials and technologies that had scarcely been tested until then,\u201d explains Revuelta, who regrets that \u201cbecause it is an abundant and very recent heritage, it is undervalued by both society and public administrations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t
