However, despite this potential flexibility, the concept of the monument and its relation to the city are in crisis in contemporary architecture, urban design and public discourse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMonuments of Everyday Life\u003c\/i\u003e calls for a rediscovery of the monument as an essential and creative part of the city. Based on a rereading of four monumental sites in S縊 Paulo, this book locates specific spatial patterns around monuments that can offer alternatives to the instability, rampant commercialization and homogenization of urban space. These monuments can serve as reference points for collective life and material representations of collective values.
