ABSTRACT
WAGNER: In your piece ‘Traces of the Unborn’, you call for, ‘the need in every society to identify icons which constitute a particular area, the structures which form the texture of living memory’. Do you recognise there to be a problem in architecture having some fixed political and symbolic meaning when, as Fredric Jameson comments, meaning is grafted onto architecture by a process of association, thereby being extremely arbitrary and constantly shifting?
