Summary

Spatial Recall explores how architecture and designed landscapes act as powerful mnemonic devices that embody and convey cultural and historical memory. Twelve distinguished international scholars, designers, and artists—including Juhani Pallasmaa and Adriaan Geuze—offer varied essays on memory’s role in shaping and interpreting the built environment.

The contributions cover wide-ranging themes from messages and audiences to specific practices in landscape design. Richly illustrated, this volume offers an extensive and insightful examination of how memory has been registered in architecture and how it can be consciously crafted for the future.
