This year our studio has teamed up with the exhibition design firm, Ralph Appelbaum Associates. Today they gave us a presentation on memorials of various types from artistic representations to actual museums.
During this project we have been going back and forth about how much of the story to “memorialize” to remember the lost and how much we should lean towards celebrating the life that was there. RAA showed us some impactful ways to accomplish all these things.
Here are some examples we felt were inspiring.
Medallions in the pavement memorialize those who lost their life in the Holocaust
House of Terror Museum
Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Berlin
Eternal flame in Tsitsernakaberd
