from Part I - Scaffolding Memory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 November 2019
In this chapter, the private and public roles of memorial architecture are addressed in respect to three relevant topics: collective remembrance and competing memories, the process of bereavement, and the possibilities of architecture as an element of agency in remembering and dealing with a difficult past. Since rituals are articulated through space, the investigation then turns towards a distinction of underlining spatial concepts that are essential in modern memorial architecture. The commemorative potential of cemeteries and landscapes is explored in a brief analysis of the symbolic language and transitional qualities of both funerary and memorial architecture.
