- Title
The Role of Sustainability in the Design of Memorials Commemorating Warfare in the Twentieth Century and Onward.

- Abstract
When designing commemorative memorial sites to a nation's war dead, there is a pronounced desire to ensure permanence. Given that these memorial sites often were seen as the sole grave markers many of the victims were denied, the desire for permanence is understandable. I would like to argue, however, that we could/should learn from rethinking permanence as a design imperative. Monuments should embrace their own mutability. To that end, I consider how impermanence, ephemera, redesign, and/or memory itself could (should) become part of the original design effort.
