Abstract
This research imagines that an inquiry into the transactional relationship between the living, the dead, and the landscape can contribute to the collective “reenchantment of memorial culture” (Ricciardi, 2003, 8). Situated as an existential hermeneutic phenomenological project, the inquiry is animated by an experiential interpretation of roadside memorials and is directed towards the distillation of potential meaning for landscape architecture. In a study of this nature, the researcher is positioned as an advocate for the relevance of poetic, sensorial, and intersubjective explorations of landscape experience. The roadside memorial triggers ruminations on life and death, inciting speculations regarding the reconciliatory potential of landscape following events of tragedy and loss.
