ABSTRACT

For some time now I have been working on a project I have termed the ‘Traces of the Unborn’, a term describing the need to resist the erasure of history, the need to respond to history, the need to open the future: that is, to delineate the invisible on the basis of the visible. Out of this meditation I have developed certain planning and architectural concepts which reflect my interest and commitment to the memory of the city, to the time in which it dwells, and to the freedom it represents.
