This thesis attempts to investigate the meaning of memory as a primary element of human cognition and existence through its spatial aspects in the personal and the collective sphere. The thesis initiates from a distinction the philosopher Paul Ricoeur makes. While investigating the theoretical traditions that examined the function of memory from antiquity onwards, he distinguishes two schools of thought: the “tradition of the inner eye” and the “tradition of the external eye”. Taking this as starting point, the city and the monuments are examined as the “external” memory to arrive to the “inner” memory that individuals acquire in their childhood home. An out-to-inwards or a general-to-specific approach is taken to aspects of memory that determine human condition and the experience of the present.
