Lisa K. Bambach. Prospective Memories: Futures of Monument Design, 2025.
Design is integral to the development and expression of sociocultural identities. As societies negotiate meaningfulness, their values are encapsulated by tangible artifacts produced through the activity of designing.
Prospective Memories explores the role of design in shaping collective memory and the discourse generated by the monuments that inhabit our public spaces. These forms serve as physical embodiments of perceived significance and are designed with the intention to influence the value systems of future generations.
