Introducing ETOM \u2013 European Triennial of Modernism<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Diverse Modernism | Modern Diversity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The „ETOM \u2013 European Triennial of Modernism“ is a co-creation platform and an official Lab project of the „New European Bauhaus“ (NEB) on trans-European Modernism and its progressive heritage. It is based on an international network involving more than 40 partners from 15 countries, focusing on Central Europe. Target and starting point for ETOM\u2019s circular ecosystem and the work of the „ETOM NEB Lab“ is the recurring triennial ETOM festival. ETOM builds on the successful implementation of the „Triennale der Moderne“ (TDM), a supra-regional festival on the „Baukultur“ and history of ideas of Modernism in Berlin, Dessau and Weimar. The collaboration of the „ETOM NEB Lab“ connects different actors from various backgrounds to evolve and realize transnational cooperation, best-practice, research, and capacity building.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Outline of the Conference<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Modernism Revisited 2026, held within the official programme of European Capital of Culture (ECOC) Tren\u010din 2026, invites scholars, architects, planners, educators, researchers, and policymakers to reflect on how modern architecture, landscape, and planning visions can be reinterpreted and reactivated in the twenty-first century. The conference seeks an interdisciplinary dialogue across time and scale\u2014linking architectural form with territorial context, and historical experience with contemporary and future scenarios. This conference is organised by the Jaromir Krejcar Society and the ETOM NEB Lab partnered with DOCOMOMO Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modernism\u2014both as a historical movement and as an continuous architectural, technological, and cultural layer\u2014continues to shape how we build, inhabit, and imagine the world. Emerging from diverse political, climatic, and cultural contexts\u2014from liberal democracies to state-planned economies\u2014in the past century generated a wide spectrum of approaches to architecture, urbanism, and life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, these multiple legacies face new realities: ecological transitions, demographic shifts, and the transformation of once-public infrastructures and institutions. While mere technocratic, aesthetically formalistic and ideologically dogmatic conceptions of Modernism did not survive. The theories, practices and ideologies of modern thinking continue to shape our realities, while being constantly challenged and questioned. In order to challenge the current multicrisis, the humanist, emancipatory and social aspects need to be considered. The legacy of Modernism lives on as a structural framework to be filled in with contemporary ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
