AIDS Memorial Park Competition Entry
Type
The Stand By Me AIDS Memorial Park is conceived as the acknowledgement of the passion of the people involved in the fight against AIDS, holding on to life while struggling with this heartbreaking condition, delivering their energy and soul at the same time that they teach us the very meaning of human strenght.The design process starts with the full understanding of the physical site, it’s historic past and future development, aiming towards a friendly environment that is welcoming to everybody, using transparent views and visual links to connect the more transited avenue with the surrounding neighborhood, in different privacy stages.Creating community bonds is one of the main objectives in this project, so it’s only natural to see large grass fields adorned with scented flowers and trees, resulting in amazing spaces dedicated to the people. Also, a community garden entitles the neighbors with a sense of belonging, where they feel the park as profoundly theirs. In the center of the memorial park, a 90 feet mast rises, simbolizing society and how people have always fought for what is right, while the ramp simbolizes the difficult path that comes with such task; sometimes you proceed slowly, without knowing what problems await for you, but always with a steady and firm step. The below grade space belongs to the Learning Center, which continues with the narrative of the memorial, while presenting more tangible AIDS awareness information. The design incorporates a Sensitivity Aisle, a 114 feet long space that tries to recreate the sense of conflict that attacks a person with AIDS through the use of light and soundscapes.The Memorial Park makes a statement through its materials as an analogy of the strength and integrity of the people fighting AIDS, and yet still allows transparency, understanding and innocence that represents everyone of us. Beyond the idea that this park will commemorate a public space,this design will always be a reminder, a communication vessel between our physical and our spiritual being, because through our senses we will be able to live the space, to synchronize our feelings and minds with those of the people who have devoted their entire life to raise consciousness and awareness about AIDS.It will be a seed planted on fertile soil that will penetrate through the deepest consciousness and remain as a link between today’s generations and those that are yet to come.
