Streets, Plazas and Piazzas - A City's Art Of Memory

A short walk-through of how a young architecture student discusses the roles of streets, plazas and piazzas have played in the cultural life of cities.

By contrasting the importance of 'shaping the site' and room, as in the spaces of the traditional city plans with regards to the Modern Movement, a consideration of the Roman 'Art of Memory' used in urban spaces is discussed.

Through Jung's theories of the Collective Unconscious an internal conflict manifests within the architecture student, as this is just the beginning of the journey within the architectural realm, as the realisation of the possible consequences of the destruction of such arrangements in the modern world sets in.
