| Abstract | Although architecture experiences the wear and impact of history, it is very rare that architecture is used as a tool to remember or forget collective memories. This thesis through the investigation of memory both in terms of psychology and related to our contextual environmental and through case studies that examine reused and new constructed environments have created a recollective approach to memory in design. Specifically, this investigation will explore multiple sites within the river basin region of New Orleans to expose the engineering marvels that have erased and act in constant conflict with the geography.
