Travesía de Signos, Lugares de la Memoria y Arquitectura Para la Reconciliación

Abstract

Journey of signs, Places of Memory. Architecture for reconciliation, is an experience that proposes to the reader, a journey through different places of memory that have been designed in post-conflict stages in the world. For this purpose, it is proposed to understand Architecture as a Narrative with communication strategies and significant practices that are studied, recognizing the main characteristics and contributions of this architecture. In turn, this work explores the possibilities of architecture to narrate stories about different pasts full of violence and the initiatives to create new environments of non-repetition. In the same way, it is an invitation to reflect on the horrors of violence and architecture as a narrative device for reconciliation.
