Abstract
This research aims to investigate the means and method of rediscovering the Identity of
Indians in South Africa. It seems that in times of change, were people are now located
in different parts of South Africa as opposed to before, the identities of people are being
re-assessed and progressing in the new places they belong to. Cultural memory is
therefore investigated to find the means in which societies can remember and rediscover
their once cherished identities. Place and time form a major part of the identities of
people. This is looked at in relation to memory and architecture and how these links
work together. This research aims, through the use of architecture and memory to locate
the necessary theories, ideologies and tools to rediscover the Indian identity in Durban.
