‘The Pandemic Memorial’ of remembrance and reflections
Участникам студенческого конкурса нужно спроектировать мемориал, который станет воплощением событий, спровоцированных с пандемией Covid-19. Это может быть инсталляция, здание или открытое общественное пространство – форму можно выбрать на свое усмотрение, так же как и участок для предполагаемого возведения мемориала.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed our lives in unimaginable ways. People across the globe have been grappling with challenges, coping with loss and battling with fear and uncertainty. We also during this time, became aware of the abuse we have put nature through, as we saw her miraculously heal during the lockdown when offline human activity had come to a standstill.
The Pandemic has deeply impacted our emotions as we struggled to adapt to a completely new lifestyle, a new normal. We moulted into a new skin with altered perceptions and transformed identities.
The Pandemic has brought in realizations the world over. It has given us valuable lessons and left us with complete humility as we witnessed the helplessness of Man before the power of nature.
Can we in some way preserve the lessons learnt, the realizations formed; treasure memories of lives lost and commemorate the new identities we donned during the Pandemic? it could be an evocative, designed space that combines function with form and integrates into the context.
Brief
The Memorial can be an installation or a designed built/unbuilt space that would be located in an urban centre. Participants can choose a strategic site in any urban centre with valid reasoning for the selection.
The Memorial can be an abstract expression like an urban installation that encapsulates powerful memories or sculpture in urban context.
The Memorial could be based on the portrayal of the dark side of the event or emerging from hope towards building resilience in a new normal or even completely radical perspective could be explored. The design exploration and connecting perceptions could be open to interpretation.
