Theodore H.M. Prudon, Ph.D., FAIA, is a leading expert on the preservation of Modern
architecture. A practicing architect and partner of Prudon & Partners, based in New York City,
Prudon is the president of DOCOMOMO/US and on the executive committee of
DOCOMOMO International.
Prudon teaches preservation in the school of architecture at Columbia University, and was a
principal with Swanke Hayden Connell Architects (1987-1997) and The Ehrenkrantz Gorup &
Eckstut (1976-1987).
The acronym DOCOMOMO stands for DOcumentation and COnservation of buildings, sites
and neighborhoods of the MOdern MOvement. Initially founded in 1988 in The Netherlands,
there are now DOCOMOMO working parties in over 40 countries. The organization is
dedicated to the study of significant works of Modern Movement architecture, landscape design
and urban planning around the world. DOCOMOMO US is the official working party of the
United States.
"DOCOMOMO US will host the VIIIth International DOCOMOMO Conference, to be held in
2004 in New York City at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning
and Preservation. The conference will interest many disciplines--historians, architects, planners,
preservation professionals, and the public -- in an attempt to close the gap that has opened up
between architects and preservation professionals in the United States since the 1970s."

Preservation of Modern Architecture
Theodore Prudon
About the book
As Modern architecture ages to a point that preservation is necessary, the methods and technology used in preservation have to be
carefully considered to maintain the design integrity of the building. This book will be a guide for the professional architect that is
interested in a broad background in preservation as a field as well as specific material and technology issues in preservation.
