DOCOMOMO US National Symposium Call for Abstracts
Docomomo US is excited to have you join us next June in Dallas and Fort Worth for the 2027 National Symposium. Next year’s theme, Lonestar Modernism: From Wide Open Spaces to Urban Places, will explore the remarkable architecture, landscapes, and urbanism that define one of America's most dynamic modern regions. From internationally celebrated masterpieces to hidden gems, we'll discover the people, places, and stories that made Texas modern.
The Call for Abstracts is now open to anyone involved in the preservation of buildings, sites, and neighborhoods of the Modern Movement. We encourage architects, landscape architects, planners, preservation professionals, architectural historians, scholars, students, advocates, modern homeowners, enthusiasts, and beyond to submit an abstract proposal on projects in North Texas and across the country.
We welcome submissions that take a holistic approach to modern resources (not just buildings) and consider the social context, technical merits, aesthetics, and settings when evaluating them. Abstracts should include how the subject contributes to the broader discussion of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, either generally or in relation to a specific field of study.
DEADLINE
Abstracts are due by Sunday, October 18, at 11:59 pm ET. Please read the full Call for Abstracts carefully before submitting a proposal.
