Humanity thrives not only on efficiency and experience of the senses but also on intellect and memory. Each settlement has traces of memory even if the original historical artefacts have been lost and redeveloped.
Humans are similar in this sense as our minds also contain traces of memory even if the context in which they were formed has been lost. Perhaps it is traces of memory that should guide future developments so there is always some sense of continuity with what came before even if it has been re-imagined in a different way.
Giving memory a consideration in architectural design allows us to retain and re-contextualise the character of a context as human society develops so the built environment maintains an affinity with its past but also its present.
