| Women’screativity since the Modern Movement (MoMoWo) is a large-scale cooperation project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme within the Culture sub-programme. MoMoWo is an interdisciplinary non-profit project that contributes to create European added value, as expected by Creative Europe. |
Entre 6 e 9 de Setembro, Lisboa será, pela primeira vez, palco de um dos maiores colóquios
mundiais de arquitectos. A organização é da DOCOMOMO e vai ter lugar na Gulbenkian. Veja aqui. À revista Sábado desta semana, Ana Tostões, diretora da Docomomo, adianta entre outros realces:
«Existirão ainda seis mesas
redondas, uma das quais irá
reflectir sobre
o papel das mulheres
na arquitectura sobretudo
no movimento moderno.
"Neste momento há muitos
grupos a trabalhar sobre o papel
das mulheres. Estamos a
tomar outra posição na sociedade
e a dar-nos conta da
quantidade de mulheres que
trabalharam e que são completamente
desconhecidas. Creio
que esta
sessão será mesmo multo Interessante"».

Within the framework of the European cultural project MoMoWo – Women’s Creativity since the Modern Movement, under the patronage of docomomo-Italia, and starting from the presentation of the outcomes of MoMoWo’s recent research, this roundtable wishes to stimulate a discussion and a cultural exchange on a double topic: women’s recent contribution to the conservation and restoration of the architecture and interior design of the Modern Movement, and the restoration of architectural and interior design heritage designed by women ‘pioneers’ of the Modern Movement.
Modern homes were designed by architects and interior designers to experiment with emerging technologies, and try to create new expressions of the domestic landscape. It is sufficient to mention the three basic models of the Frankfurt Kitchen designed by architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky in 1926, a paradigmatic example of contemporary modernist theories.
If on one hand, the conservation and restoration of architecture built by women seem to be less-known, apart from a few emblematic cases, such as the Royal Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon by Elizabeth Whitworth Scott, E-1027 Maison en Bord de Mer in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin by Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici, Sea Casino in Burgas by Victoria Angelova, Case Study House 8 by Charles & Ray Eames and some of Lina Bo Bardi’s major works in Brazil. On the other hand, contemporary women’s professional involvement in the conservation and restoration of the Modern Movement heritage as architects, researchers, specialists, exhibition curators, museums and foundation directors is also worth highlighting.
The roundtable aims to exchange knowledge, fostering new research on the proposed topic and thus improving active involvement of docomomo's friends into MoMoWo activities».
