Abstract

There is a resurgence of concerns over memory as a cultural phenomenon throughout the contemporary Western world since the 1980s, within the context of the international acknowledgement and condemnation of national states’ systematic violation of human rights. Architecture and Art are required to envision not the well-known monuments but alternative material media for memory. Those who promote projects for such mnemonic devices in the public space aim to contribute to achieving that these crimes against humanity happen never again. Landscape and territory are key concepts in order to understand and operationalise project strategies tending to collectively construct memory, which in turn aims to spread these complex concerns, to include a wider sector of society and commit them to such concerns, so that those committed and included should not only be those directly involved. The passage from a theoretical framework to another—from landscape project to expanded territory: a place validated by a community as a co-built social and political fact.
