Memorial
Architectural and design approaches to creating spaces that honor memory, loss, and collective remembrance.
the architectural memoir of memory
Memory is not static; it evolves, fades, transforms, and survives through people, rituals, and places. Within the Parsi community, the Tower of Silence at Doongerwadi has long existed as a sacred landscape carrying generations of funerary traditions, collective remembrance, and cultural identity. However, changing urban conditions, declining engagement with ritual spaces, and the gradual disconnect between community and sacred landscapes have led to the fading of these memories and spatial pract
THE FINAL MEMORIAL
The spherical structure ensures that the context is applied: the earth, the planet we have inhabited for millions of years - that we are now actively making less habitable for everything which lives on it. Vibrant foliage and greenery, tall waterfalls and cooler shaded spaces offer refuge from the intense dry heat outside.
An absolutely overwhelmingly iconic structure that would probably cost $5bn to construct if not more, and one might argue that this money could be better spent in saving several animal species from extinction. But if there will be a kickstarter to get this going I will definitely support with my humble donation.
Fantastic design. I appreciated its simple yet strong geometrical shape which metaphorically indicates the Earth. I would think the proposal could be stronger if there were more information of the interior spaces showing the experience of the visitors.
BURIAL AND FARMING STAC
Very innovative concept with effectively utilise small land for dual purpose! Excellent!
Nice project
nice work!
In The Light We
Very cool and thoughtful design!
Parting in matter,Reunion in spirit
We believe that death is a parting in the material world, while a memorial ceremony is a reunion in the spiritual world. People recall their lives with the dead, talk about their present lives, and create a reunion with the dead. People humbly put the ashes into a clear spring, where the current leads people through separation and flows into a waterfall into
This is a great project; such a tremendous idea; just probably the center area can be more specific in terms of the design, but good project in general.

Is This The End?
Humans always see cemeteries as a soulless and unbearable place . So they just go there to see their departed family or friends. But we can change this meaning of a cemetery to a plaza by changing a dead place to a dynamic and lively one.
WooooOOoow Perfect👌🏼👍🏼
great... good luck

Resonating Memories: A Funerary Tower Where Chimes Hold Ashes and Sound Replaces Stone
A vertical memorial fuses crematorium, market, and wind-activated copper chimes into an architecture of collective mourning and urban life.

really cool I have to say
I appreciated the great visualizations and aesthetics of the proposal. However, the shape should be designed corresponding more to your idea. The existence of walls are especially important for this proposal which should be designed more carefully.
Memory
There are clearly two tipologies in the project that I think have to interact more precisely; idea of park is well adapted to it´s sorroungings.
The Non-Memorial
This project aims to transcend traumatic memory imposed in the physical monumental space, by creating a space for social reconciliation through storytelling. Embracing the scars of war and subtly subverting these memories of war into beams of hope.
THE BRIDGE OF MEMORY
Learn from the Past to live a better Future. Our project commemorates the tragic story of Aleppo and offers salvation by focusing on the future evolution of the city. We believe in the necessity of retrospection, we don't want to forget, we don't want to delete the bruises, but take the lesson they teach us to build a better and wiser way of living together.
Memorial hall - past and future, memory and hope
As the city was rebuilt, a seed was sown. Planning: divided into two areas of tourism and religion, and effective digestion from all parts of the city. Architecture: divided into two parts, exhibition and tower. In the exhibition area to see and engraved the process of urban reconstruction, and feel the care of Allah in the tower.
It is great that the designer is proposing all the components to be made off site and to be made out of recycled materials. That could really be a beacon of hope as a first monument made out of 100% recycled materials whilst being quite monumental. The design still needs some work though.
Place of People
Place of People is a dynamic public space designed in the heart of Aleppo that seeks to acts as a catalyst in the personal healing and community strengthening process. The design instils a feeling of strength in the people that takes birth from their weaknesses and fears to alleviate their spirit and morale.
I would have liked to have seen the project move beyond a symbolic gesture toward a lived reality. In other words, how could this - what appears to be a very large totem - support more democracy? The interactive element requires 15 people, in total 150, as a historic representation of a protest in the past. What are the implications for protest today and in the future?
