The Eter
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?
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.
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.

THE SUBTRACTED HORIZON
The Subtracted Horizon is an underground pavilion in the Swiss Alps that powerfully symbolizes the loss of peace and freedom caused by war. Hidden beneath a pristine alpine meadow, the pavilion is rendered almost invisible from the surface. As visitors descend into a stark, raw trench carved into the earth, they leave behind the open and endless alpine horizon. The architecture uses pure subtraction, removing the landscape to create a profound spatial experience

Will we get access to Rhino + grasshopper or should we download or have them prior to entry?
Dear Mariam, You require to have access to these tools prior to workshop. You can get the trial versions from here: https://www.rhino3d.com/
I already have Rhino 6 with Grasshopper, so I was wondering that is good for the workshop? I saw in email that recommended me to get Rhino 7.
Hi Jinchen, the workshop is heavily reliant on SubD's which is a new feature in Rhino 7. You should have Rhino 7 installed for the workshop.
Hi, I wonder if there is a compulsory site or is it up to us? Thanks!
Hi Deniz, the site is up to you, although we appreciate you showcasing how the context affected your design decisions.
