The following paper contains some of the main points of discussion in a research project about the preservation of architecture of the Modem Movement in preparation at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen. It discusses the relativity of historical values within the early Modem Movement. Various aspects on the case of preservation of architecture of the Modem Movement are explained. Different examples of restoration, reconstruction and new interventions are analysed and ordered in a series of methods. The conclusion is that the architecture of this epoch needs a new attitude especially towards the question of authenticity.
