KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- In April, the Pritzker Military Museum & Library, located in Chicago, launched an international competition for the new Cold War Veterans Memorial to be built in Somers, Wisconsin.
After reviewing an impressive number of inspiring design concepts, four finalists have been selected to advance to Stage II of the competition.
The finalists are representatives from the US, Italy, Japan, and Jordan. These individuals and groups achieved the highest scores against strict criteria, including individuality, relevance, and conceptualisation.
The finalists include INFINITE LIFE - Michele De Lucchi con Francesco Forcella (project architect), Nicholas Bewick, Junmei Liu, Emanuele Novembre, Guido Tarantola, Mayya Sargsyan of AMDL CIRCLE in Milan, Italy.
The others are THE CONFLICT - Mai Abu-Shanab and Jalal Al-Sadi of m+j architect studio atelier in Amman, Jordan; ORBITS OF TIME - Jenny Wu and Dwayne Oyler of Oyler Wu Collaborative in Los Angeles, California, USA; and, ETERNAL CIRCULATION - Shinsaku Munemoto of Shinsaku Munemoto & Associates, Architects in Kyoto, Japan.
According to a statement, the Cold War Veterans Memorial will be a critical piece of the Pritzker Archives and Memorial Park Center (PAMPC) currently under development.
The design challenge was to provide a conceptual design for the Cold War Veterans Memorial that embraces the mission statement, exemplifies the guiding vision, and achieves the design goals.
In Stage II, the four groups of selected finalists will evolve their concepts for the Memorial and create more fully defined design concepts by late February 2022. Procedures in this stage include a virtual competition briefing, Q&A, mid-course review, and design exhibit.
The Competition Leadership Group will conduct an individual review of each design submittal and provide an advisory report of its findings to the Jury.
The winning design will be announced publicly in March next year.
