莫斯科的掌權者把 16 個游擊恐襲地點的線素給完全清

除,製造了一種有意圖的匿名空間。不斷每年重複發生

的悼念活動成為了這些事件跟歷史的唯一連繫。這種自

發性的活動導致了〞 意外的紀念物〞的,發生,並對空

間作出了抹不走的、歷史層面的定義。

本提案嘗試在生活中毫不起眼的空間裏加入異常的內

容,讓歷史被抹去的空間跟時間重展對話。”

現代社會記憶模式的另類紀念方式。

Architecture operates in time, it evolves by witnessing events and embodying clues of the past as

physical scars, images, myths, practices and so on.

In the case of the studied 16 guerilla attack sites in Moscow, the physical clues of the sites to the

past are deliberately erased by the authority as a denial of the existence of current risks to Moscow

people- an intended anonymity of space. The recurring practices of commemoration become the only

linkage of the space to its traumatic past- when events become the sole historical definition to space:

this is the moment when the Unintended Monument happens.

This thesis proposes the creation of anomaly to typical objects that we usually encounter- in a

state of such banality that one could not even further normalize it- as a dialogue to time. Instead of

proposing another typical monument, that may serve as a token of guilt in which the memory may

slowly disappear due to unconscious habituation; a series of monuments that are activated cyclically

and engage through personal participations may provide an alternative answer closer to the operation

of how the contemporary society remembers.
