SARGOLINI Design of Memorials… Scientific Papers | Znanstveni prilozi INTRODUCTION public space as a method of collective and individual healing. UVOD Regeneration is explored through two no- tions: the notion of recovery, as bringing back lost and invisible, and the notion of re- habilitation as brining into better condition existing character or mark. ”Events are bigger than people think.” This research is a part of Heritage Urbanism 4 François Guizot1 research project and builds upon the frame- work of memorials as cultural landscapes.5 Heritage urbanism method was used for fur- ther analysis of memorials in which identity factors (regeneration intention, setting type and identification concept) were used to define the models of healing interventions and the criteria for evaluating their design. Results show the significance of location in cases of post-war memorials - regardless if they are situated in landscape or in urban areas. Therefore, case studies were evaluat- ed through the criteria of accessibility, scale and motion manipulation. This paper is also part of wider topic called Urbanscape Emanation formed at the Faculty of Architecture, the University of Zagreb. Ur- banscape Emanation examines the addition of time and structure to space and the transi- tion from static to dynamic models achieved 6 D isaster risk reduction [DRR] is a system- by creating awareness about place.
