| dc.description.abstract | Memory, a fundamental aspect of human experience, plays a vital role in shaping identities, understanding the past, and constructing narratives of the present. Space, as a narrative linking past, present, and future, functions as a means of remembering and forgetting, confronting the past as part of the place of social experience, and contributes to identity formation through its symbolism. In this context, the study aims to examine how individuals and communities relate to and construct meaning with memory spaces, and how these spaces shape collective memory through various elements. The study seeks to analyze memory as a dynamic concept from individual, social, and cultural perspectives through architectural works, spatial approaches, and Pierre Nora’s concept of memory spaces (lieux de mémoire) using exemplary structures. Within this framework, it questions how the memory functions of specific buildings and spaces are designed and experienced in the architectural context. The study uses qualitative methods such as architectural analysis, visual and textual exploration, and literature examination. Pierre Nora’s theory of memory spaces is supported by analyses of selected structures. The case analysis covers architectural features, spatial usage, and visitor experiences of chosen structures within specific dynamics, producing concrete data on architecture’s capacity to convey memory. It examines architectural elements that enable the “crystallization” of collective memory in physical space by classifying them within the conceptual framework of fundamental design approaches. By categorizing design dynamics and presenting an analytical methodology for memory spaces, the study aims to contribute to the literature with its original value. | |
