Bibliographic Details
Title: Sub-Urbanism and the Art of Memory
Description: Sub-urbanism: a subversion of urbanism, a new approach to shaping territory that recognises the suburb as the setting for most people's daily lives. This book is a sub-urbanist manifesto. Its author, Sébastien Marot, challenges the dominant role of the programme in regulating the design project, and argues that instead, attention should be redirected towards the site – read in depth, with an active regard for memory. Exploring this analysis, he considers in turn Frances Yates'book The Art of Memory, Sigmund Freud's analogy between the past of a city and the workings of memory, Robert Smithson's account of a tour of his suburban birthplace and Georges Descombes'design for a small park in the Geneva suburb where he spent his childhood. Marot's conclusion brings these different strands together and highlights, in memory, a precept that is essential to the renewal of current architecture. This publication is a re-edition of Sébastien Marot's Sub-Urbanism and the Art of Memory, originally edited by Pamela Johnston and published by AA Publications in 2003, and features a new postscript by the author on the ‘art of hoping'. The book is based on a 1999 text by Marot, translated from the French by Brian Holmes.
