“…Scholars draw on architecture to uncover tensions between the powerful (governments, corporations and elites) and local communities and decision-makers (Patterson, 2012;Nagel and Satoh, 2019;Gonz alez, 2011;McNeill, 2006;Parkinson et al, 2017;Bianco, 2018). In the case of Aspen, the lines between the two groups are not clear-cut, and the AAM's new building serves to demonstrate that identities of people and places are complex.…”

PurposeIconic buildings, especially museums, are often enrolled in creating an identity for cities, yet cities and museums have been sometimes uneasy partners in using architecture to shape city identity. This paper examines the negotiations of place identity amid the conflicting influences of global design trends and local cultural nostalgia through the case of a single development in Aspen, Colorado.Design/methodology/approachIn this case study, using discourse analysis and grounded theory methods, the authors analyzed interviews, planning documents and critical opinions in the press to reveal the ways in which complex identities and contradictory planning directives shape a single building in a hyper-glocal Western town.FindingsThis analysis presents a place with complex and at times conflicting identities: residents have intense local concerns in parallel with global allegiances. The Aspen Art Museum building by Shigeru Ban similarly reflects a complex and contradictory identity with its bold design which confronted notions of local identity expressed in the built environment. Despite engaged citizenry and carefully crafted planning directives, the resulting design did not reflect locally produced culture but instead revealed the influence of international capital in the urban fabric.Originality/valueThis study examines the tension between hyper-local concerns and international status enacted on a single site in a small yet metropolitan place in the American West offering insights regarding the emplacement of buildings and the subsequent impacts on a place. As cities and institutions move beyond placeless iconic architecture, architecture and urban planning practice will need to adapt to the new paradigm where buildings can be at once global yet also local, drawing on innovative design practices and local culture in the construction of place.

“…Given that the phenomena linked to these conditions and perceptions are statistically replicable at very high levels crossculturally in both set experiments and natural societal settings, it is remarkable that it took this long for parts of these ideas to be incorporated in our understanding of archaeological cultures. The relatively new discipline of environmental psychology, stemming from the pioneering work of Tuan (1975;, which deals with people's socialization and emotional responses to built and natural places, has made interesting forays into historical responses important for understanding predictable reactions to space and place and recognizing evidence of responses to "the past in the past" (Devine-Wright, 2014; Devine- Wright & Lyons, 1997;Hartley, 2012;Liu & Hilton, 2005;Parkinson et al, 2017;Rohl, 2014).…”

History and collective memory can be maintained through heritage building conservation because collective memory can be represented through an architectural object. It is important to preserve the whole story of the building, the architectural form, and the memory related to the building as well as the society so that all of those aspects can be passed down to the next generation. The conservation of both tangible and intangible characters of a heritage building is a key aspect to attain a sustainable city and society. When a heritage building is physically destroyed, the connection among people, the building, the collective memory of the building is also vanished and this condition can be considered as an example of terror in architecture. This paper discusses terror in architecture, especially when the building is slowly destroyed, and the memory that people have about the building is being attacked. The aim of the paper is to investigate whether there is any linkage between the physical changes of the building and collective memory of the society. This study appoints Pasar Johar Semarang as a study case since it is a heritage building that experienced some changes and misfortunes such as fire incident in 2015. In order to do so, this paper will connect some theories on heritage building conservation, collective memory, and terror in architecture. This paper concludes that Pasar Johar encounters terror in its architecture because the building is slowly damaged by physical intervention, ignorance from the authority and fire incident, at the end those situations cause the collective memory of society for the market slowly disappears.
