Summary
The UNESCO World Heritage List has expanded significantly to include more properties from the Modern Movement, with 34 out of 814 cultural sites now inscribed, a number that doubled in 2016 following the inclusion of Le Corbusier's works and the Pampulha Modern Ensemble. This shift reflects broader changes in the concept of 'authenticity,' as highlighted by debates in the 1990s, particularly Léon Pressouvre's critique (1993) and the Nara Conference (1994), which emphasized the need to broaden this term. The study argues that expanding authenticity criteria is crucial not only for recognizing Modern Movement achievements but also for preserving cultural heritage more holistically.
