#4 Redesign
DIA Series
Publisher: DIA Architecture School
Dessau, 2015
(De)constructing Architectural Memory (Master Thesis Research) was published in 2015 in the 4th edition of the DIA series entitled Redesign.
Redesign was part of a series of scholarly publications by the Dessau Institute of Architecture (DIA), which published the results of thematic studio projects as a reflection of the work undertaken within the DIA Master’s programme.
This book presents a selection of studio projects from the years 2008-2015.
(De)constructing Architectural Memory is investigating the Skopje2014 project and its most used medium of action – architecture. Skopje2014, a project by the government of the Republic of Macedonia, introduces a new architectural language, previously unseen through Skopje’s history. The architectural style is a form of ancient classical and baroque expression. Its production is not a reflection of modern times and in its essence is the intention to give Skopje an older appearance, implementing an invented, imaginary narrative.
Note: The segment was written in 2015 for the purpose of this book, when the Skopje2014 project was still ongoing.
