tsunami memorial, honorary mention, thailand, 2005
tsunami
memorial, khao lak thailand,
honorary mention*
The
tsunami memorial proposed in our project is as much a path as it is a
building. A path to remember and to contemplate.
The
path links the oldest existing trees in the site through a series of
6° ramps that allow for a continuous journey that will become the
memorial itself. In the shadow of the trees, a series of terraces
allow for the people to intimitally remember their loved ones. People
should be welcome to leave the remains or possessions in the
terraces.
The
building as a spiraling ring is in itself a concentric path around an
intimate garden in the centre, with a still water circular pond. The
building is a continuous space divided into the learning centre
activities and the museum, passing through the restaurant and ending
in the roof as an amphitheater reclining in the hill to the south of
the beach.
The
building is placed between 10 mts and 15 mts allowing people to
physically understand the magnitude of the tsunami waves. The
building as a ring is as much a materialization of the tsunami
phenomena as a symbol of human solidarity.
The
main idea for the museum and memorial for the victims of the tsunami
in Khao Lak, Thailand is that of a building formed by a concentric
spiral that not only materializes the tsunami phenomena in its
physical form but tries to represent the human solidarity in the days
following the disaster, through the universal symbolism of the ring.
The
building is in itself a continuation of the landscape, because the
project is formed by a series of concentric paths that link different
terraces, proposed around the biggest or oldest trees in the site.
In
this sense the building and landscape architecture are interweaved
through the idea of concentric rings and allow the visitor to reach
all the spaces in the park designed for the project. This idea was
one of which the jury appreciated the most to award the Honorary
Mention, as the it is stated in the report from David Elliot,
president of the jury and director of the Mori Museum in Tokyo,
Japan.
