Abstract

Through a masterplan of a design intervention, the proposal aims to expose, unearth and highlight the multi-layered histories of the site, and counteract the various techniques of obstruction of collective memory.

By informing the collective memory these interventions will aim to disturb the current war/division driven narratives that dominate the city.

The proposal will take advantage of the imminent redevelopment of the area to introduce an interim commemoration park to encourage public engagement with the site, while encouraging and facilitating a dialogue between the interested parties.
