Proposal Title: The praying Iraqi, 03/31/2008, Other

Proposal Synopsis: The Iraqi praying monument design is located in Baghdad at the centre of the traffic. The idea is coming from the victim's graves which are symbolising holes underground - 8000m with the glass wall around it. The sunshine goes through this holes to light the museum up. This museum can show the story of each dead civil Iraqi people. The main volume the praying Iraqi shows the paintings of the war on the wall. It has 8 floor levels which is not attached to the wall to let the light come from the upper level to the graves. The upper level is actually the peaceful place where the visitors can memorise the victims. Please look also to the movie on the link bellow where you can see the process of this project to make it more clear. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=x8T_icvyfAA
