Abstract Lifestyles have changed on a global scale with industrialization that has grown after the Industrial Revolution, and migrations and rapid urbanization have resulted in the need for new houses. With new materials, different construction methods and developing technology, a new period that is independent of historicism and that distinctively reflects different functions began. Called Modern Architecture Period, this era included different processes for every country due to its social, cultural and financial conditions. With the demolition of Pruitt-Igoe houses in Europe in 1972 and adverse impacts of two world wars on cities, the idea that Modern Architectural buildings should be conserved emerged. Consideration and conservation of recently constructed Modern Architectural products as cultural heritage became a topic of discussion in different regions, particularly Europe, during 1970s and 1980s; International Committee for Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites and Neighbourhoods of the Modern Movement (DOCOMOMO) was founded with the Declaration of Eindhoven in 1990, suggesting the first step taken in this regard. Conservation of Modern Architectural heritage in Turkey became an agenda topic upon the establishment of DOCOMOMO Turkey Working Group in 2002. Within the scope of the protection and documentation of the Modern Architectural Heritage, the Community Center building located in the city center of Konya, built between 1946-1949 and used as the Konya State Theater today, was examined. With the literature review, the values used for the Modern Architectural Heritage in national or international documents have been determined. The examined building was handled within the scope of these values and it was concluded that it should be considered within the scope of Modern Architectural Heritage with its document, integrity, technological, aesthetic, urban memory, momentary and reference values.
