In a triangle collaboration between ETOM and the international, widely connected organizations DOCOMOMO and ICOMOS, a strategic initiative \u201cTriangle for Modernism\u201d was launched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-5\">From the very beginning, the ETOM initiative drew special attention to Central and Eastern Europe, its significance and major role in ensuring European unity and cultural resilience, as well as in overcoming a persisting, but outdated East\u2013West divide. The war of aggression against Ukraine clearly shows the importance of Central Europe for European coherence, which should rely, among others, on cultural collaboration and shared modern values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading pb-3\">Initial Presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing an European Cooperation Project<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the first day of the opening event of the &#8222;Triennale der Moderne&#8220; (<em>Triennial of Modernism<\/em>) 2022 in Berlin, actors from selected future network cities presented the developments and local networks of modernism and their dedicated work.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The European cooperation project launched in 2021 is intended to pave the way for a &#8222;European Triennial of Modernism&#8220; (ETOM). The initiative comprises 38 partners from 14 countries, with a focus on Central Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of modernism is based on a diversity of examples, sources, protagonists, and &#8211; even more so today &#8211; on the diversity of actors who are committed to the architectural appreciation and sustainable perspective of modernism &#8211; a progressive cultural heritage whose avant-garde architecture, art, urban and social developments are once again highly topical for the future of Europe and the resilience of common values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stakeholders face similar or comparable challenges and potential. With trans-European cooperation, they are seizing the opportunity to unite goals and jointly sensitize and address the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially today, in the face of war and attempts at division and in awareness of the historical ruptures, the European architectural development of modernity and a lively transnational exchange are proving to be a model for political cohesion and cultural cooperation in Central Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pb-3\">On the first day of the <a href=\"\/2022\/auftakt-event\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1110\">kick-off-event<\/a>, actors from selected future network cities officially met for the first time and presented the developments and local networks of modernism and their committed work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large pb-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/TDM-2022_Collage_Tag1_3zu2_LoRes-1024x738.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4264\" srcset=\"\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/TDM-2022_Collage_Tag1_3zu2_LoRes-1024x738.jpg 1024w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/TDM-2022_Collage_Tag1_3zu2_LoRes-300x216.jpg 300w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/TDM-2022_Collage_Tag1_3zu2_LoRes-768x554.jpg 768w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/TDM-2022_Collage_Tag1_3zu2_LoRes-1536x1107.jpg 1536w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/10\/TDM-2022_Collage_Tag1_3zu2_LoRes.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Collage with scenes from the first day of the kick-off event at the Czech Embassy on 30.9.2022 in Berlin<br>photos: Ben Buschfeld<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading pb-4\">Stay tuned via Social Media<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"454\" src=\"\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/TDM-2022_Visual_TDM-Web-1024x454.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3565\" srcset=\"\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/09\/TDM-2022_Visual_TDM-Web-1024x454.png 1024w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/09\/TDM-2022_Visual_TDM-Web-300x133.png 300w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/09\/TDM-2022_Visual_TDM-Web-768x340.png 768w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/09\/TDM-2022_Visual_TDM-Web-1536x680.png 1536w, \/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/09\/TDM-2022_Visual_TDM-Web-2048x907.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TriennaleDerModerne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong> (#TriennaleDerModerne)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TdModerne\/\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong> (@TdModerne)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/triennale_der_moderne\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong> (@triennale_der_moderne)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCSEBVtLlkQF0m28O2qE8icg\">Youtube<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;(#Triennale-der-Moderne)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading pb-4\">Overview of Partners<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Initiated by<\/strong><br>\u2022 BHROX bauhaus reuse \/ zukunftsgeraeusche GbR (zkg), Robert K.
