Abstract
In the past few decades, examples of open spaces integrated into cities and people’s daily lives have increased. People’s memory is identified through memorializing these open spaces, which contribute to shaping and managing the history and identity of cities. Egyptian cities have witnessed several significant events over the past decades in several open spaces. However, these open spaces lack features of historical storytelling and even the ones with historic monumental structures transformed into traffic nodes lacking public interaction or sensual experience. This caused people to detach from their physical identity and lose track of their history and memoryscape.
Meanwhile, contemporary designers worldwide supported introducing memorial landscapes in public spaces. Contemporary Memorial landscape (CML) is a landscape space commemorating individuals or events of the past and keeping them in the memory of people, through physical representation in public areas, by being active rather than passive spaces. Users experience these memorials through engagement with different perceptions, due to senses experienced at that space. Placing CML in everyday life and allowing users to engagement strengthen their memory and place attachment.
Accordingly, the thesis identifies monuments, memorials and CML approaches and its potential for shared memory in which a viewer becomes a contributor which is the focus of this research.
