DESIGN NAME: Last Genocide
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Memorial
INSPIRATION: This proposal is an attempt to answer this question (when will genocide not be repeated?
When all human beings from different cultures and races can talk to each other
And accept each other's differences. In fact, through dialogue and acceptance, we can reach the stage of discovering human commonalities that are independent of color, beliefs, race and etc.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This structure has found a special semantic connection between the site and the subject of the monument.
From a perspective, genocide means depriving some people of life, which is the natural right of all human beings, so we likened the green space and trees to life, where there is no life at the point where the monument is located. It is actually a monument to a tree that has the potential to grow and flourish but it dries up and is deprived of life.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Lost
In this space, the audience has no outward view and can only see the sky that is shared everywhere. In fact, thrown to nowhere; The feeling that most victims of genocide experienced before they were killed. The audience must bend their head for entering. Respect for the victims / The identity of those present is not recognizable from the outside (all human beings are equal in any color and race) / The perpetrators of genocide do not pay attention to ‘Human aspects’ = human dimensions.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2021 in Brampton Canada and finished in September 2021 in Brampton Canada.
