    DOCOMOMO Ibérico 2018

    Old Modernism, New Urbanism Michael Hebbert University College London We of the postwar baby boom are said to be surprised –even indignant– to find old age creeping up on us. We may stay out of the clutches of envejecimiento for longer than previous generations, but there’s no escaping it in the end. The buildings that grew up with us are also growing old and showing signs of wear and decay –but their life-cycle, unlike ours, allows for renewal and conserva- tion from one human generation to the next–. So yesterday’s avant-garde becomes today’s heritage. Once la ville du futur stood in radical contradiction to the existing urban fabric, embodying revolu- tionary principles of light, space, circulation, rational layout, standardised construction. Today its legacy has been absorbed into collective memory alongside all the older traces in the urban palimpsest –ancient, Roman, Mediaeval, Renaissance, Baroque, Nineteenth Century–. Of course much of the twentieth century legacy will be replaced over time but significant buildings and landscapes deserve recognition as heritage, with all the challenges implicit in retaining instrinsic character while adapting to new uses and contexts. All building uses change over time so –as Stewart Brand famously puts it (1994)– architecture must «learn» if it is to endure. Daniel Abramson’s recent study of Obsolescence (2016) highlights its peculiar history within modern architecture. He shows how pre-modern architectural theory lacked any concept of obsolescence, judging buildings by the eternal Vitrivian criteria of frmitatis, utilitatis and venustatis –firmness, commodity and delight–. Obsolescence entered architecture from nineteenth century accounting practice.
