COMPETITION - HONORABLE MENTION - 2022

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The intervention is involved in two diametrically different spheres of control. First, a tectonic manipulation of a solid, mineral object, where the indeterminate podium is dominated by a series of subtractions from its own mass. With two main characteristics in its geology: formal impertinence and the language of austerity conferred by the concrete texture. Thus, from cavities and depressions, a series of areas of action and appropriation by the user are configured, which will have the possibility of inferring meaning to the final form open; grandstand, tunnel, refuge, amphitheater. Children and Mothers, all or none at the same time.

Secondly, the dynamic natural mantle, where it is proposed to plant fifty percent of the area destined for the contest with the dandelion flower (Taraxacum officinale), a symbol in this struggle to make visible the protagonists of this memorial. A scalar distortion decision on the public space itself, with the metaphorical power that reverberates from the individual to the collective and vice versa. One plant, ten yellow flowers, one hundred little flowers, one thousand seeds that disperse and reproduce, and so on again in a phenomenological iteration that continuously transfers the message of the collective, altering the immediate landscape of the memorial.
