During this time, he memorized the layout of the detention center and concentration camp at which he was imprisoned, and he created a series of drawings in order to preserve the memory of these places, as well as the events that occurred there. From the imperative of ‘we will not forget’, which Lawner wrote on one of the plans he drafted, this essay analyzes the complex graphic matrix of those experiences in light of the ancient techniques of ars memoriae and reveals their function as devices that elaborate, document and organize the contents of memory. Durante los primeros meses de la dictadura en Chile encabezada por el general Augusto Pinochet, el arquitecto Miguel Lawner fue recluido en la isla Dawson, en el extremo austral de Chile. En ese tiempo, memorizó los planos del centro de detención y del campo de concentración en los que estuvo prisionero y realizó una serie de dibujos con el objeto de preservar la memoria de esos lugares y los hechos allí ocurridos. A partir del imperativo “no olvidaremos”, que Lawner escribió en uno de los planos, este ensayo analiza la compleja trama gráfica de esos materiales a la luz de las antiguas técnicas del ars memoriae y revela su función como dispositivos que elaboran, registran y ordenan contenidos de la memoria.
