Opis

This innovative study of contemporary memorial architecture explores how design can translate memories of human loss into tangible structures.

Recenzje

'A fascinating insight into the meaning behind our memorials – where design intent has to mediate personal psychology, politics and collective experience. Tanović is especially good on the ambiguous philosophical underpinning of an art and architecture practice that too often superficially rests on its laurels without questioning its own assumptions.' Robert Bevan, author of The Destruction of Memory
