Theisland has become an emblem of the unwanted human condition. This thesis contendsthat certain periods have been given much more prominence in the imagination whileothers not been in the forefront. The study will focus of one such period -- the NativeAmerican Occupation of Alcatraz Island. This thesis considers the role of the memorial,as a medium of recollection and reflection of the “erased” past.With careful arrangements of the architectural experience and design principles,the thesis highlights the comprehensive nature of its past history and memory. Thearchitectural intervention to the existing condition need to serve as a place to representa particular identity and event. Through the consideration of the unified voices thatshape the Occupation of Alcatraz, it reinforces an architectural language that servesnot only as a catalyst, but as a channel for conversation between collective memoryand the environment that surrounds them, an identity of the place is established. Theaim is to create an architectural intervention that connects with the visitors to embracethe beauty of the physical impermanence and its relationship to the collective memoryand identity. 2017-09-29 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1491318611281376 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1491318611281376 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
