the resurrection of the historic house museum of el Marabet family opted for the approach and The notion of "collective memory " That is originated from the philosopher and sociologist Maurice Halbwachs, in "La Memoire Collective" ("the Collective Memory", 1950). This extended thesis focuses on the role of people and place, and how the collective memory is not only associated with the individual but is a shared experience. It also sheds the light on the way individual memory is influenced by social structures, as a way of continuing socialisation by producing memory as collective experience.

"Each aspect, each detail, of this place has a meaningful intelligence only to the members of the group, for each portion of its space corresponds to various and different aspects of the structure and life of their society, at least of what is stable in it."
The restoration was based on the dialectics of memory, regarding the importance of the collective memory and how it is embedded in culture and place. It resides not only in a house or building, but it also resonates in outdoor space – particularly when a monumental event has occurred, therefore
