  text: The Modern Movement encompasses a diverse collection of both iconic and ordinary
    treasures of architecture worldwide, among which some are safeguarded with respect
    to their values, while others were demolished, have undergone alterations, neglect,
    or lack of maintenance and preservation over time. Docomomo has been playing a
    pivotal role in documenting and safeguarding significant architectural works of
    the 20th century. Its National and Regional Working Parties (WPs), spread across
    the globe, have diligently compiled archives of photographs, drawings, historical
    records, and research materials related to Modern Movement architecture, town
    planning and landscape design. However, the decentralized nature of these archives
    poses challenges in terms of accessibility, coordination, and attaining a more
    comprehensive record of the Modern Movement with a global perspective. Therefore,
    this study undertakes the explorative task of compiling data from these separate
    online-available archives of the WPs to attain a broader overview of the documented
    objects of Modern Movement architecture on a global-scale. The collected data
    is analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and influential architects and to elaborate
    on the potential factors contributing to the current status. The study involves
    analysis of the predominant format of building use/function among documented architectural
    works, examination of the geographical and chronological coverage of available
    lists, and the distribution of intervention status within the inventory. These
    aspects provide valuable insights into the functional diversity, geographic spread,
    and preservation status of architectural works documented in the dispersed archives.
    This study also facilitates comparative studies between different regions and
    countries, shedding light on the shared characteristics and unique contributions
    of the Modern Movement across diverse cultural contexts. The results help identify
    trends, gaps, and areas of focus for future research and documentation efforts,
    ensuring the holistic appreciation of architectural works, and contributing to
    the scholarly understanding and preservation of this modern heritage.
