Summary:

"Robert Hutchison's 'Memory Houses' is a speculative project that investigates mortality and memory through the lens of architecture. Situated along the banks of the Wye River on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, architectural typologies such as dwelling, chapel, lighthouse, and memorial weave together a spatial narrative about loss and recollection. Distant as well as more recent architectural memories make cameo appearances in the Memory Houses: the stave churches of Norway and the Great Mosque of Córdoba that Hutchison experienced as a child; the lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay; the timber grain elevators of the Palouse; the Colosseum and the Santo Stefano Rotondo in Rome. This publication documents the eight buildings that comprise the 'Memory Houses' project, alongside built houses designed by Hutchison's Seattle-based firm Robert Hutchison Architecture."--Back cover.

Robert Hutchisonœs Memory Houses is a speculative project that investigates mortality and memory through the lens of architecture. Situated along the banks of the Wye River on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, architectural typologies such as dwelling, chapel, lighthouse, and memorial weave together spatial narrative about loss and recollection. Distant as well as more recent architectural memories make cameo appearances in the Memory Houses: the stave churches of Norway and the Great Mosque of Córdoba that Hutchison experienced as a child; the lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay; the timber grain elevators of the Palouse; the Colosseum and the Santo Stefano Rotondo in Rome. The project was significantly impacted by Hutchisonœs experiences while a Rome Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Rome from January through July 2017. The nine allegorical works of architecture are: House for Locomotives (Round House), House for Winemaking (Winery), House for Remains (Chapel & Columbarium), House for Bells (Carillon Tower), House for a Widow (Boat House), House for Memories (Lighthouse) and Telescope House & Milk House.
