"Meaningful Architecture : Architecture That Matters"
 

What I have investigated for my thesis project is the art of sanitizing and purifying a historical sin. My project titled as “The tomb of the Stolen Memory” it is directed for the stolen memory of the Australian Aboriginal Indigenous – that is the long and violent British colonization of the Australian land where their land were forcibly dispossessed by the European settlers that lasted from the 1780’s to the 1920’s.

My projects seeks for the opportunity to symbolize an apologetic gesture to the Australian indigenous and their stolen memory from the land, and through the incorporation of water as a powerful weapon to the idea of purification the historical sin.

Through the spaces I designed, it all existed for a certain meaningful purpose that also forms a narrative, a story to the users.

This form of narrative architecture can truly become an important ground for the society as each spaces and elements of the buildingtells a story, a narrative, a poem that withal acknowledges the true history of the lands that is occupied

Regards,

Conchita
