The first symposium of the series Dortmunder Positionen (Dortmund Positions) broaches the issue
of the monumental as a characteristic that is increasingly losing its self-evident nature. It
seems that with the advent of the 21st century the concept of the monumental in general - and
in urban planning in particular - has turned into something dubious. Thus despite a sense of
growing digital restlessness museum construction remains perhaps the only remaining discipline
in which the monument and monumentality may still form a single entity albeit unspoken.
