Memory, Thickness, and Identity in Two Modern Architectural Landscapes
2024
Overview
The surroundings of the Acropolis and Philopappos Hill in Athens (1951-1958), by Dimitris Pikionis, and the Capitol of Chandigarh in India (1951-1963), by Le Corbusier, are two projected architectural landscapes that coincide in time. Both are conceived as true constructed manifestos in which the ground acquires a similar role as a container for multiple overlapping memories. The two projects become cartographies with thickness and density -- both real and conceptual -- that are created from the shape and treatment of materials. Considering the landscape in which they are framed and also using diverse cultural references, this study analyzes the way in which these projects generate a layer of updated architectural memory that seeks, in turn, to define a new identity on the sites.
