An article by journalist Marianna Kakaounaki explores Mneme, a Memorial site in Mati, Greece, the architectural thesis developed by Chrysa Gerakaki at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
The project explores how architecture can give form to memory, loss and collective experience through a network of memorial interventions across Mati. Rather than creating a single monument, the proposal creates a journey through different places and moments connected to the 2018 fire — transforming memory into space.
