Second Juror's Review
Juror: Muhammed Abdulla
| 1. Lei Zhang, Yuan Lei, China - DESIGN OF THE MONUMENT |
 It is an interesting architectural intervention; reworking the war destructive scene into a 'museum' to review what has happened. The concept and the structure reflect the social and culture aspects of Iraqi society. |
| 2. Yaniv Ophir, Gila Fakterman - Black Box |
The magnifying construction of the Black Box is impressive as well as relocating it from one major city to another offers the chance to bring the issues beyond one location. |
| 3. Joseph Choma - INFLEXION |
 The
hardness of the concrete and the pureness of the form of the proposed
vertical monument is drawing the visitor to experience the non/existence
with confrontation of what role we do have to take in time of war? |
| 4. Mehedi Amin - Lost WORLD..... |
 The
design of the monument set impressively in terms of concept and spatial,
confronting the visitor/the witness with two entries or two exits.
The military and futuristic appearance of the construction imposes
alienation feelings toward the world and us. |
| 5. Sara Fiore - An Inter-cultural Blogscape |
| This proposal reminds me with campaign of Amnesty International 'It's Not Happening Here But it is Happening Now'. Relocating what happing somewhere into elsewhere, using the new technology to be in touch/living the 'Happening Now'. |
| 6. Chuck Chaney - One was Too Many |
 Intellectually
and emotionally Chuch has approached the topic. Through flag folding
ceremony, she is calling the visitor/the witness to participate in
ongoing conversation and forming a site specific memorial. She is
spreading the topic and the responsibility into people to take an
action. |
| 7. Erin Finch Stevens - A Common Thread |
 The
proposal expresses a deep research of the context and the location
of tackled topic. It is remarkable installation to represent
the enormity of the Iraqi casualties by a black banner that winds
throughout the public spaces. The timing and the locations of
the installation is crucial matter. |
| 8. Ivan Contreras Rubio - The Presence of the Absent |
 The
proposed monument includes spaces variety in feeling, spatial and
quality. It indicates into the life after was disasters, through
creating slots that lead into four volumes for public library, auditorium,
museum and space for reflection. |
| 9. Tyler Adams - Oil |
 Tyler
has invested interestingly the symbolic and the quality of the proposed
elements; oil and light and the form of the cube to address the topic. |
