ArchDaily and World Monuments Fund Partner on Modern Heritage

ArchDaily and the World Monuments Fund (WMF) are collaborating to redefine the preservation of modern architecture, particularly in the Global South. The initiative aims to broaden the criteria for what constitutes heritage, moving beyond age to include historical significance, cultural meaning, and architectural innovation.

The partnership seeks to establish a new framework for understanding modernist heritage, recognizing that buildings from the mid-20th century can hold as much historical weight as older structures.

WMF contributes its global conservation expertise, while ArchDaily provides editorial reach to contextualize preservation efforts and share them with a wider audience.

The joint effort intends to preserve significant sites and narrate their stories, influencing the global perception of modernist heritage beyond preservation circles.
