This innovative study of memorial architecture investigates how
design can translate memories of human loss into tangible
structures, creating spaces for remembering. Using approaches from
history, psychology, anthropology and sociology, Sabina Tanovic
explores purposes behind creating contemporary memorials in a given
location, their translation into architectural concepts, their
materialisation in the face of social and political challenges, and
their influence on the transmission of memory. Covering the period
from the First World War to the present, she looks at memorials
such as the Holocaust museums in Mechelen and Drancy, as well as
memorials for the victims of terrorist attacks, to unravel the
private and public role of memorial architecture and the
possibilities of architecture as a form of agency in remembering
and dealing with a difficult past. The result is a distinctive
contribution to the literature on history and memory, and on
architecture as a link to the past.
