Abstract

Metamodernism defines the structure of the feeling of the contemporary epoch characterized by an appeal to all past cultures in order to find the sources of the new. The phenomenon of memory has become again relevant and in demand in architecture discipline. The desire for constant innovation in modernism and postmodern irony were replaced by a serious attitude to any surviving fragments and a desire to materialize the layers of different epochs. The article describes three levels of work with memory in architecture: retrospection, reminiscence, and commemoration. Various objects are considered, architectural and planning concepts are analyzed, therefore architecture is able to visualize genealogy, evoke memories, capture momentous events and artifacts. Such analysis allows drawing conclusions and getting an idea of the spirit of our time and the values of society expressed in the latest architecture.
