  • Summary

    While there is the same focus on family history and family loss as there was 100 years ago, today's commemorative projects promote other ends: tourism, education and regional redevelopment plans, particularly in areas blighted by the decline and disappearance of extractive industries like coal mining and textile manufacturing. Building new First World War memorials and museums, and preserving the war’s material and architectural heritage constitute a significant part of this process. This chapter examines two projects planned for the centenary of the war in France and Belgium. By focusing on a project located at Notre Dame de Lorette in France and on the Remembrance Park 14–18 in Belgium, the analysis focuses on how contemporary designers and architects approach the challenge of linking today’s citizens to yesterday’s catastrophe.
