Summary:
A decimated Shiite shrine in Iraq. The smoking World Trade Center site. The scorched cityscape of 1945 Dresden. Among the most indelible scars left by war is the destroyed landscapes, and such architectural devastation damages far more than mere buildings. Robert Bevan argues here that shattered buildings are not merely “collateral damage,” but rather calculated acts of(...)

Summary:
A decimated Shiite shrine in Iraq. The smoking World Trade Center site. The scorched cityscape of 1945 Dresden. Among the most indelible scars left by war is the destroyed landscapes, and such architectural devastation damages far more than mere buildings. Robert Bevan argues here that shattered buildings are not merely “collateral damage,” but rather calculated acts of cultural annihilation. From Hitler’s Kristallnacht to the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s statue in the Iraq War, Bevan deftly sifts through military campaigns and their tactics throughout history, and analyzes the cultural impact and catastrophic consequences of architectural destruction. For Bevan, these actions are nothing less than cultural genocide. Ultimately, Bevan forcefully argues for the prosecution of nations that purposely flout established international treaties against destroyed architecture. A passionate and thought-provoking cri de coeur, The Destruction of Memory raises questions about the costs of war that run deeper than blood and money.

Summary:
On lui trouvait une tête de corbeau et il s’était fait corbeau. Le Corbusier s’était choisi un nom qui tenait de l’oiseleur. Il était extraordinaire, propagandiste, artiste, architecte immensément talentueux. On lui avait élevé une statue colossale. Il régnait. Et voici qu’au cinquantenaire de sa disparition son monument se craquelait. Des nuées d’articles hostiles(...)

Summary:
On lui trouvait une tête de corbeau et il s’était fait corbeau. Le Corbusier s’était choisi un nom qui tenait de l’oiseleur. Il était extraordinaire, propagandiste, artiste, architecte immensément talentueux. On lui avait élevé une statue colossale. Il régnait. Et voici qu’au cinquantenaire de sa disparition son monument se craquelait. Des nuées d’articles hostiles parurent dans le monde entier. Le souvenir de ses accointances d’avant-guerre et de ses dix-huit mois à Vichy jaillissait entre les fissures. Son goût pour l’autorité, son urbanisme, funèbres oiseaux. Ce qui devait être une commémoration est devenu procès. Cet ouvrage, érudit et drôle, est un appel à une histoire qui serait libre, sans tabou, sans passion triste ni rancune. Quantités d’oiseaux y paraissent, laids ou gracieux, fragiles ou cruels, dionysiaques ou parfaitement idiots qui lui font une guirlande et l’enveloppent du bruissement des fables, des mythes et des poèmes.
