Duty. Honor. Safety. Reflection. Peace.
These few words bring different
meaning to many, SENSES challenges this disconnect. Senses is a design for the new Chief David Campbell Memorial, a project dedicated to firefighters who have died in the line of duty in Portland, Oregon. The plan uses water
as the conceptual centerpiece. A large pool of water of awaits visitors
as they enter the memorial descending from the bustle of the esplanade.
They pass through a corridor with a rough concrete wall and a smooth
wall of water, which leads them to a “Wall of Honor” featuring the names
of firefighters who have died.
