We get that its very sleek and illuminated and cool bc its a CNC milled form, but I feel like that agenda is abit strong.

I like that one can explore the memorialization of the individual in respect to their age, but I also feel like the whole thing needs to be seen from a platform or above since it is a phenomenon seen from above. Its abit stark and I think that memorials don’t necessarily have to insist on that quality.

And to Truthseeker, I have to agree with you, there are many questions left to be answered, and simply calling something a conspiracy in order to blindly disregard it does not make it so – a conspiracy is not a conspiracy if there is hard evidence, which the truth movement has in spades, the only thing lacking is societal will to overcome the obstacle of denial. Regardless of this however, I think that this memorial leaves these questions open, it is not a “closing of the book” so to speak, but as is referenced in the architecture, suggests we “peel back the layers” and honors the victims individually at the same time.

overall I think this memorial has accomplished a rare feat, to articulate loss in all it’s horror and abruptness, while still maintaining a hint at a silver lining. It is an elegant memorial, and has achieved an articulation of the event not always met through the language of architecture.
