Memorial to Future Disasters
Notes
1 Memorial to Future Disasters imagined on a long-vacant lot in downtown Vancouver
2 Rammed-earth walls erode over time
3The memorial’s cut in the landscape descends at a gentle slope, allowing water to pool at the cut’s terminus
4Plan view showing the memorial within in its downtown context
5At the memorial’s deepest end, the path narrows and the walls heighten for an increasingly claustrophobic experience
