The architecture and built heritage of the postwar era, and more recent decades, have not yet fully been considered from the perspective of cultural heritage. Thus, only a few monuments or buildings from this time are currently legally protected. The potential values that are embedded in postwar and postmodern twentieth century architecture are therefore deemed to be at risk due to extensive social changes and perhaps also lack of recognition by society in general.
The regional Working Group 20th Century Built Cultural Heritage, composed by scientists, architects and cultural managers, are preparing the conference From Postwar to Postmodern – 20th Century Built Cultural Heritage. This conference addresses the historical legacy of postwar twentieth century architecture in the context of the Baltic Sea region. The conference will take place in Kiel, Germany, 28-30th of September 2016, within the framework of the 6th Baltic Sea Region Cultural Heritage Forum.
