Summary
This chapter examines memorial spaces dealing with consequences of terrorist acts of a political and religious character to gain a better understanding of their formal language and underlying meaning. The investigation starts with an in-depth study of Madrid’s 11-M memorial which commemorates the victims of the 2004 terrorist attacks. After taking a closer look at the initiation phase, the design process and the materialization of the memorial, the chapter will continue with an overview of various memorials commemorating terrorist attacks, which are currently being planned and built, or have recently been inaugurated.
