Inside the Great War Boundaries: Memories and Remembrances Traces and Absences

In the redrawn territories of our time, the architectural project enters into a relationship with the visible and intangible traces of historical identities that have stratified the reality in which we live every day. The essays in this book are a multi-identitarian collection on the issue of reconciliation of boundaries and conflict, where memories, traces and absences tell the stories of long-awaited rebirths.
