Architectuur en herinnering - Naoorlogse Europese herdenkingsplekken

2020 is the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In Architecture and Memory, architect Jacques Prins focuses on commemorative sites. He brings together 40 of these sites, from across Europe and from the post-war period, and documents them in texts, drawings and photographs. His aim is to convey the feeling of oppression and detachment to the visitor, without creating a reconstruction, to really allow them to identify with the past. For easy comparison, Architecture and Memory includes several drawings of each site: of the situation they were in during the Second World War and of the situation they are in today. Together these create an image of the design strategies that different designers have employed over the course of time.
