Design of Memorials - The Art of Remembering

Abstract

Članak nastavlja istraživanje memorijala, prema postavljenoj tipološkoj identifikaciji iz ranijih istraživanja, u kontekstu problematike obnove razorenog mjesta. Cilj je istražiti na primjerima ‘koncept manipulacije’ putem koreografije kretanja što postaje način stvaranja memorijala.

(De)Linking with the Past through Memorials

“…Since landscape is seen as a cultural construct where identities of place are formed and memories inhere [22], memorials have been explored in many studies as a source of cultural healing that enables permeance to memory and as an important urban regeneration method that brings new identity to places and enables reconciliation with the past [8,28]. Being contested as a process of representing the past [22,29], the concept of memorialscapes has been used to commemorate the history which people relate to and narrate the past to acquire meanings that foster both resistance and conflict [29][30][31], remembering and forgetting [28], recognized in this paper as both linking and delinking.…”

“…Altogether, this indicates complexity and suggests delicacy of these project topics with expected sensibility of their solutions and ideas. Nevertheless, scientific studies rarely deal with multiple comparisons and instead focus on specific groups of memorials and their development process or relation to the type of remembrance of tragic events where post-war topics dominate [6][7][8]. This paper aims to fill that gap by providing a wider range of examples in correlation and comparison, with the focus on architecture and urban planning perspectives by asking questions: 1.…”

“…The inspiration for our research comes from parts of our doctoral research where open public spaces are explored in the context of heritage, which served as a basis for observing the relation between place-making and memory [9,10]. Our preliminary studies have shown that memorials use various forms of artistic methods to achieve the abovementioned specific multiple impacts and benefits for communities [2,8]. The aim of this article is to provide a systematic overview of similarities and differences in used planning methods and artistic design tools, as well as to encourage new research and creativity in the application of detected methods.…”

“…These elements and methods of marking are in fact (historical) place-making tools. We aim to explore current place-making tools and methods through memorials defined as anthropogenic places designed within landscapes and urban contexts, always with the associative character [8].…”

Monitoring the Health Status of Trees in Maksimir Forest Park Using Remote Sensing Methods

“…In addition to being a widely used recreational area, it is also an ecological stronghold that offers a variety of benefits. It was the first public park in southeastern Europe and one of the first such parks in the world [10]. Since its foundation the forest has undergone numerous changes, but it still remains a unique set of natural forest elements.…”
