American Slavery Memorial - Call for Proposals!

UNC Charlotte and its School of Architecture are hosting a student ideas competition for an American Slavery memorial. “Manifestations of Memory” was started as a thesis project last year, and now we are looking to get submissions from students across the country on how a slavery memorial may look. The top 5 designs will be presented by the designers at a symposium and exhibition in the spring of 2010 in front of all the jurors for the competition and a guest jurist yet to be determined. This will be held at UNC Charlotte. There will also be a traveling exhibition of the designs and as well as a publication. This is a great short design project that can be used for a studio or seminar class. The website for the competition is www.asmcompetition.com . If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email the project’s coordinator, Natasha Creticos at ncreticos@gmail.com.
