Memorialization as the reification of past experiences crystallizes the bi-directional relation between memory and architecture in its pure form. Memorials, because of this long-established relation, constitute an expense area of knowledge where the theories of diverse -such as social, psychological, cognitive, urban or architecturalstudies intersect. Addressing that interdisciplinary area, this study proposes a new approach derived from classical memorising technique of the art of memory (ars memoriae) to analyse different examples of architectural memorialization (1).
