The end of the XX - begin of the XXI century saw qualitative changes in architecture and art that contributed to the intensification of artistic activity of masters from different regions. The most influential factor in this process was the regular European Triennials.

The article analyzes the main scientific goals of the Triennale 2022, which took place in Berlin. Modernism is a progressive cultural heritage, avant-garde architecture, art, urban and social development, which is extremely relevant for the future of Europe and the sustainability of values. The planned European cooperation project aims to pave the way for a “European Triennial of Modernism” (ETOM) involving about 40 partners from about 15 countries, focusing on Central Europe. Their shared history of modernity is based on a variety of examples, sources, heroes and - today even more so - on a variety of actors committed to valuing multiculturalism and a sustainable perspective of modernity. The participants discuss identical problems of architectural development and preservation in their countries and, using pan-European cooperation, compare and combine similar problems in Europe, addressing a common public. This format of lively exchange of information is especially relevant today, in the face of war and attempts to divide Europeans. This type of pan-European cooperation in the field of architecture is exemplary for the further development of cultural cooperation and unity, especially in Central Europe.

The objectives of the study are to analyze the multiple perspectives and problematic issues of heterogeneous views of architecture in order to understand modernism as a transnational phenomenon and to further research and communicate it in this sense.
