(Non)memory architecture
Authors:

Abstract
There is a view that architecture is a way of remembering events, people, customs, which makes it a storehouse of the past for the future, an element of tradition and culture. It is a trace of thoughts, ideas, and ambitions that have been built. The analysis of selected aspects of the memory motif in contemporary architecture, with regard to tradition, proves the multitude of solutions as well as the problem of giving form to the architecture of memory. The paper concerns objects of collective memory – these are not only monuments but also objects that store collections of memory, and sometimes they themselves constitute a commemoration. Sculptures and monuments are a special form of commemorating the phenomenon. The non-memory architecture is in opposition – it is a testimony of events that we do not want to remember, and which cannot be forgotten. Despite some concerns, the monuments of the present and past are still present in contemporary architecture. Their persistence often involves balancing between tradition and modernity, memory and non-memory.

- Abstract in Polish
- Istnieje pogląd, że architektura jest sposobem zapamiętywania wydarzeń, ludzi, obyczajów, przez co staje się magazynem przeszłości dla przyszłości, elementem tradycji i kultury. To ślad myśli, idei, ambicji które zostały zbudowane. Przeprowadzona analiza wybranych aspektów motywu pamięci w architekturze współczesnej z uwzględnieniem tradycji dowodzi wielości rozwiązań oraz problemu z nadaniem formy architekturze pamięci. Niniejszy artykuł dotoczy obiektów pamięci zbiorowej - to nie tylko pomniki ale i obiekty gromadzące zbiory pamięci a czasami same stanowiące upamiętnienie. Rzeźby i monumenty stanowią formę szczególną komemoracji zjawiska. W opozycji jest architektura niepamięci- stanowiąca świadectwo wydarzeń o których nie chcemy pamiętać, a o których nie sposób zapomnieć. Pomimo obaw monumenty teraźniejszości i przeszłości są wciąż obecne w architekturze współczesnej. Ich trwanie to często balansowanie pomiędzy tradycją a nowoczesnością, pamięcią i niepamięcią.
