This book explores new approaches towards developing memorial and
heritage sites, moving beyond the critique of existing practices
that have been the traditional focus of studies of commemoration.
Offering understandings of the effects of conflict on memories of
place, as manifested in everyday lives and official histories, it
explores the formation of urban identities and constructed images
of the city. Topographies of Memories suggests interdisciplinary
approaches for creating commemorative sites with shared stakes. The
first part of the book focuses on memory dynamics, the second on
Nicosia, the divided capital of Cyprus, and the third on physical
and material world interventions. Design practices and modes of
engagement with places of memory are explored, making connections
between theoretical explorations of memory and forgetting and
practical strategies for designers and practitioners.
