BABIY YAR MEMORIAL

This speculative project reconsiders the monument as object, instead positing the formation of an immersive space of remembrance, a space that emerges from the landscape and is carved from within a somber stone monolith – an inverted monument. This project explores the emergence of a space, rich with intricate detail, reflecting the culmination of individual differences within a multitude.

The project is structured by a series of contrasts, such as the intensive memorial space in opposition to the reflective exhibition space, or the smoothness of the stone facade in opposition to the intricacy of the bronze memorial.
