Abstract

The article will be focused on the history generating process, as a social and cultural phenomenon and its vocation to create artistic and architectural forms of memory, stressing on idea of metamorphosis’ transposing from an abstract concept into a material, spatial entity. I will call this process the “coming into physical form”, showing the steps followed until the final result and also of his feed-back. The aim of the text is to define the elements of this process, the parameters that interfere in the materialization of the memory.
This process, composed of several sub-processes at its turn, deploys in a contemporary spatial and temporal framework. The temporal aspects refer to the past events that are invoked, considered to be significant in attributing the representatively and sacrality-sacred character of the places containing memory.
