Abstract

The cultural landscape is a metaphorical language through which power, hopes and expectations are expressed. Especially in ideological and non-democratic environments, these environments are associated with ideas of power and the visualization of messages in the language of power. The Charents Memorial Hall, opened in 1978 in Charentsavan, the industrial city of Soviet Armenia, reflected the close connection of the cultural landscape of the Soviet city with urbanism and ideology. This was expressed both in the choice of the place of the memorial hall, the external and internal design, and in the content. Today, the memorial hall functions as a medium for forgetting the "glory" of the past. When represented, these places have great potential to represent the narratives of the Soviet cultural landscape and politics.
