Abstract

Following an in-depth investigation into contemporary heritage practice, the project intervenes on the Parc Chanot which hosted Marseille’s two colonial exhibitions. The design seeks to resurface taboo histories to enable history to be learned from. Through this project, I have queried the role of architects as curators of history and sought to provoke a reflection on the hierarchies made between hegemonic and shady histories. The written research is provided in Act I- Investigation. In Act II- Translation, the research is made specific and tested in Marseille. In Act II- Generation, I make the research productive by proposing an alternative architecture to a site that has enforced forgetfulness until present.
