In the Memory House
In the Memory House by Howard Mansfield
"We have everywhere an absence of memory. Architects sometimes talk of building with context and continuity in mind, religious leaders call it tradition, social workers say it is a sense of community, but it is memory we have banished... We have speed and power, but no place. Travel, but no destination. Convenience, but no ease."
In the Memory House recalls what American society has forgotten - the land, its people, and its ideals. By examining what we choose to remember, this important book reveals how progress has created absences in our landscapes and in our lives.Ā
