Interpretation Centre

Idea projektu

Reimagining a 350-hectare former military property in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina as a significant civic landscape known as the Arsenal Memory Park, transforming a site of Argentina's military dictatorship (1976-1978) into a place of remembrance, education, and public engagement.

Popis projektu

The design introduces a large urban park integrated with a memorial and interpretation center. The spatial logic follows a '4E Concept' narrative sequence: Engage (Introduction) at the narrow southern gateway with Admin Block and Audio Visual Room; Experience (The Journey) through a symbolic climb toward the 530m plateau passing the central Amphitheatre and Historical Pavilion; Explore (Discovery) moving from guided narrative to personal discovery; and Evolve (Legacy) at the wide northern section dedicated to massive public gatherings in the Concert Zone and Common Plaza. The site is organized into zones including a Learning Zone with audio visual room and classrooms, a Memorial Heart with Historical Pavilion and Memorial Art Gallery, an Event Zone with amphitheatre, and Relaxation areas with cafes and seating.
