Designing in response to sites of trauma is a fraught process. How can these sites, and all of those connected with them, be cared for through design?
Memorial design raises many issues around emotional landscapes, landscapes as sites of care, issues of equity, ethics, and aesthetics. Through the lens of memorial research, design, and critique, this talk will navigate questions around memorials as landscapes of care. With examples ranging from her involvement in the Pentagon Memorial design competition, to Ōtautahi’s sensitive sites in the wake of the earthquakes, to designing at Pike River, Jacky will examine some of the challenges of caring for sites of memory.
