Designing a memorial for the Armenian genocide's 100th anniversary when a large number of countries have not yet recognized it becomes a challenge to make of this space not only a memorial but a vector to develop awareness in people that would lead to more recognitions in the future.
The proposal developed around a horizontal strip that became a spiral under the existing sculpture the whole path lit by Armenian khachkars representing the intellectuals that were killed on the 24th of April.
The presentation of the project below explains the process of the design of the project.
