This memorial design powerfully captures the intersection between architecture, time and memory. By anchoring the experience in a spiral movement that symbolically flows upstream through history, the project creates a spatial narrative that honors the past while guiding visitors toward reflection and understanding. The integration of commemorative programs such as film, exhibitions and seminars demonstrates a holistic approach to healing and education, transforming the memorial into a space of active remembrance. Architecturally, the interplay between the rigid geometric layout and soft emotive lighting reveals a deep sensitivity to the gravity of the subject. The thoughtful use of materials and the contrast between old and new structures evoke both solemnity and continuity. This is a compelling example of how design can create meaning beyond form turning silence into storytelling and space into testimony.
