Everyday residential heritage and circularity: Potential and limitations of Docomomo Full Documentation Fiches

Conference: Modern futures. Sustainable development and cultural diversity, 18th International Docomomo Conference, Santiago de Chile, 10–13 December 2024

Existing buildings represent resources for cities but often also constitute a degraded, obsolete, and energy-intensive asset. Before renovations, a significant step in shifting to a circular economy is collecting quality data about buildings. In this contribution, documentation becomes a means to interpret not only masterpieces but also everyday architectures and to introduce circularity in their analysis. This paper provides a framework to adapt Docomomo Full Documentation Fiches to suit everyday residential heritage and encourage circular renovations in peripheral and socioeconomically fragile areas.
