from Part I - Scaffolding Memory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 November 2019
This chapter offers a succinct overview of the successive stages in the development of the architectural memorial, starting in the period of the two world wars and concluding with a discussion of the practices and debates of the early twenty-first century. In addition to sketching broad trends and important points of dispute and discussion, it will zoom in on a few influential projects that shaped subsequent practice, such as Jochen and Esther Shalev-Gerz’s Monument Against Fascism (1986) and Maya Lin’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1982).
