Abstract:
In this paper I will present the relation of memory and architecture as a world constructing activity, in the light of primary and secondary memory. These Husserlian terms which are related both to time and spatial consciousness have also an essential role in understanding the world as a sum total of our experiences. As the world proves to us an essential precondition for any of our activities, it comprises not only material things but also cultural objects which give us manifold relations. The world also never serves us only a spatio-temporal possibility of presence, but also makes possible living together with others.
