Making a building is such a big thing. They impact people for generations and act as massive transfers of information. It’s very profound. You can’t think enough about what the responsibility is. — The Guardian
Writing in The Guardian, architect David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates shares his personal thoughts on architecture as it relates to the creation, maintenance, and longevity of memory by highlighting his firm's recently completed Linda Pace Foundation building in San Antonio, Texas.
Adjaye writes, "Some people say you don’t need any more physical memorials because the internet archives everything, but I think architecture has a role in editing and presenting that knowledge in building form as new monuments. It’s important to be able to synthesise ideas and give them a quality that creates an engagement and usefulness with people."
