Mury jako kreacja miejsc pamięci o wojnie

Dominika Czarnecka

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present on selected examples how walls, one of the simplest and best-known architectural elements, were used to create new sites of memory after World War II. The text undertakes a reflection concerning the creation of the architectural memory space in modern European and American cities in the context of tragic war events. It also examines reasons and ways of using the ambiguous symbolism of a wall as a fundamental or one of the main components in commemorative conceptions in postwar urban space

Keywords:

architectural memory space, site of memory, wall, monument, urban space, World War II
