Architecture form(s) identity. Spaces for the absence of memory is a collection of essays on the theme of memory, its possible loss, weakness, ability to build individual and collective identities, and on the way architecture inserts itself in this process, determining different spaces of reflection. These texts all arise from a common research ground, which saw the editors personally involved in an inter-doctoral Workshop (The Memory as Construction of the Subject. Designing for the Absence of Memory, 2018-19), with a collaboration between Politecnico di Milano (AUID) and the Universidad de Sevilla (HAC) Ph.D. schools, in which the theme of memory and the construction of a more holistic space that dialogues with it was at the center of the design reflection. These contributions, all built around that very rich relationship between memory and architecture, have led to a necessary desire to broaden the horizons and thematic limits reached by the workshop, considering them as a starting point for the collection of different perspectives able to investigate some issues in a more specific way.

Chiara Lionello is an Architect and Ph.D. candidate at Politecnico di Milano. After the graduation, she worked in the field of Interior and Product Design in several renowned studios in Milan. During this experience, she developed a specific interest for those practices that apply methods, materials and devices of the interior to the urban context. In 2018 she applied for a position in the PhD program in “Architectural Urban and Interior Design”, with a thesis proposal about the link between Interior Design and the contemporary city. This theme is the basis of many activities that she does inside and outside the academic context, working with other professors and colleagues that share the interest for the growing ability of Interior Design in the interpretation of the most urgent contemporary issues.

Enrico Miglietta is an Architect and Ph.D. Candidate at Politecnico di Milano, where he graduated in 2016. He is developing his investigation around architectural research by and through design as part of a Joint Doctorate agreement with KU Leuven, where is research associate of the Group ‘The Drawing and the Space’. His research mainly focuses on the role of the architectural joint as a primary particle for the construction of architectural corporeality, on the archaeological attitude of Design Driven Research and thus on the relationships between the whole and the fragments, technê and poiesis.

Greta Maria Taronna, architect and Ph.D. candidate (DAStU-Politecnico di Milano, visiting at AE+T-TU Delft) graduated, both cum laude, in “Scienze dell’architettura” at La Sapienza Università di Roma (2012) and in Architecture at Politecnico di Milano (2015). Teaching assistant, since 2015, in bachelor and master design studios of the AUIC school at Politecnico di Milano, she has always combined her academic involvement with architectural practice. Her research, part of the Excellence Department program, investigates the possibilities of adapting the Italian school heritage (1950-1970) in seismic areas through design actions that simultaneously reinterpret the structural needs and spatial implications on architecture.
