Spatial Recall

<p>Architecture and designed landscapes serve as grand mnemonic devices that record and transmit vital aspects of culture and history. <em>Spatial Recall</em> casts a broad net over the concept of memory and gives a variety of perspectives from twelve internationally noted scholars, practicing designers, and artists such as Juhani Pallasmaa, Adriaan Geuze, Susan Schwartzenberg, Georges Descombes and Esther da Costa Meyer. </p><p>Essays range from broad topics of message and audience to specific ones of landscape production. Beautifully illustrated, <em>Spatial Recall</em> is a comprehensive view of memory in the built environment, how we have read it in the past, and how we can create it in the future.</p><p><em>Please note this is book is now printed digitally. </em></p> <p>Yes, Now I Remember: An Introduction <em>Marc Treib</em> <strong>Part 1: Body </strong>1.
