The July-August issue of Domus focuses on erased histories, suppressed memories and the role of architecture in the construction of new identities. Toshiko Mori, in her editorial, writes about the variety and plurality of memories as the basis of civilization. “Memory is a cultural material and is subject to the understandings and perceptions of an era. Our contemporary moment is struggling with an upside-down state of redefinition. We build up and destroy our perceptions of history as we continue to construct them from our mercurial memories.”
