  • Title: Written in stone: memory and reconciliation intersecting the urban biosphere.
    Author: Kohen M.
    Journal: Ann N Y Acad Sci; 2004 Jun; 1023():282-8. PubMed ID: 15253910.
    Abstract:
    The article describes the process of planning the Memorial of Disappeared Detained Citizens in the City of Montevideo, Uruguay, the construction of which was completed in January 2003. It explores the role that memory, planning, and reconciliation carried out in the public realm can play in the context of an urban environment. It describes the procedures and involvement of different social agents in the achievement of a significant landmark where social healing is promoted in parallel to the materialization of the construction of the Memorial, the necessary interaction between the natural and the human dimensions, and how these relate to the city as a biosphere.
