Study Architecture 
ProPEL 
Author(s): Rumiko Handa
How can architectural design assist in making the past present in meaningful ways when applied to pre-existing buildings that carry particularly notable and troubling pasts? The paper focuses on the Documentation Center housed in the former Congress Hall on Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg, Germany, for which Austrian architect Günther Domenig won an invitational competition in 1998. On-site analysis and archival study reveal memory-inducing mechanisms of designation, formal characteristics, physical trace, and memento.
