416 MEMORIAL
The project proposes three strategies of how the memorial ccould not only be a space for remembrance and of compassion, but also act as a tool for ‘action’.
First, it creates an ‘everyday space’ for all citizens and allows their natural and easy accessibility to the park, providing opportunities for various physical and mental leisure activities. Thus, everyone’s daily life is shared with the victims.
Second, the enshrinement facility avoids the excess of metaphor, symbolism, and ‘ceremonial’ space through which would render victims as ‘anonymous’. The architecture instead presents a practical and functional exhibition space with a curatorial direction that protects and delivers
small but distinct memories.
Lastly, it provides active education programmes and learning space to create collective intelligence and memory. Therefore, all citizens experience the park not just as an audience but as a ‘participant’ who questions and finds answers for issues around them and where they could eventually exhibit and shares their ideas.
