Almost a hundred years ago humanity was fighting each other but currently we are at war against climate change. The architecture is composed of two parts: the structure and the memorial. The structure serves as a church that would house the procession for the memorial. Whereas the memorial offers salvation.
The main structure creates a series of experiences that leads to the diving facility and the memorial will restore the endangered coral reef in the area. Through the architecture, individuals are allowed to directly contribute to the cause that we are fighting for.
The war that we are fighting for a hundred years ago may be different but the current war is fighting for the same objective: humanity.
This project was done for the final undergraduate project at Savannah College of Art and Design and for the Last Nuclear Bomb Competition.
