Presenting Difficult Pasts Through Architecture: Converting National Socialist Sites to Documentation Centers de Rumiko Handa

Presenting Difficult Pasts Through Architecture: Converting National Socialist Sites to Documentation Centers

Autor Rumiko Handa
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mar 2021
Architectural design can play a role in helping make the past present in meaningful ways when applied to preexisting buildings and places that carry notable and troubling pasts. In this comparative analysis, Rumiko Handa establishes the critical role architectural designs play in presenting difficult pasts by examining documentation centers on National Socialism in Germany.
Presenting Difficult Pasts Through Architecture analyzes four centers – Cologne, Nuremberg, Berlin, and Munich – from the point of view of their shared intent to make the past present at National Socialists' perpetrator sites. Applying original frameworks, Handa considers what more architectural design could do toward meaningful representations and interpretations of difficult pasts.
This book is a must-read for students, practitioners, and academics interested in how architectural design can participate in presenting the difficult pasts of historical places in meaningful ways.

Recenzii

‘This book provides an intelligibly conceptualized, clearly organized and well-illustrated architectural guide to the Munich, Nuremberg, Berlin, and also Cologne documentation centers that should be of interest to both architects, curators of historical museums—especially institutions devoted to the presentation of a difficult and/or contested past—and public historians who are interested in the ability of architects to contribute to an understanding of the past and an engagement with it in the public sphere. I have often thought that these buildings deserved a monograph, and to my delight, the complexity of their architectural rhetoric has found a match in the architectural criticism, sense of scholarly perseverance, and openness to the at times ironic dimensions of museums of perpetrator history brought to the subject by Rumiko Handa.’

Descriere

Presenting Difficult Pasts through Architecture analyses four centers—Cologne, Nuremberg, Berlin, and Munich—and their shared intent to make material evidence of National Socialism involvement in authentic perpetrator sites which were part of both peaceful prior histories and now part of current everyday life.
