The memorial is material and its construction, in order to enclosure the
void. The structure of the Monument for the victims of the terror
attacks in Madrid is a worldwide novelty. For the first time massive
glass blocks are connected to form a structure using a transparent
adhesive and no additional mechanical elements. The outer layer of the
11 meter tall monument consists out of approximate 15100 massive glass
blocks, that are glued using just a transparent adhesive. The internal
layer is made out of a over pressure stabilized ETFE foil. The interior
void is the remembrance atmosphere space.ArchitectsEsaú AcostaMauro Gil-FournierMiguel Jaenicke(estudioSIC)Pedro ColónRaquel Buj
