Atlantic City Holocaust Memorial Competition


A few months ago, a colleague of mine from the office and I participated in a design competition for a Holocaust memorial on the Atlantic City boardwalk. It was a long, arduous process, but we both got a lot out of it. It was even longer to hear back the results. But for a solid two months this winter, Blake Krevolin and I worked tirelessly on our submission. Today we found out that of the 700 some submissions from around the world, ours was unfortunately not chosen as a top 12 finalist. The jury had some big guns on it too, Richard Meier and Daniel Liebskind to name a few, so we can't be too disappointed. Here is our final submission. (there's a lot more symbolism to it than the 200 words allowed) but we consciously made no overt symbols referencing the Holocaust.
