Virginia Tech Memorial
This project was assigned after the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007. The project is a memorial to the people who lost their lives that day, and is offered as a possible solution to the need for a place to mourn, memorialize, and move beyond the events of that day. It was designed into a hill, where the structure is completely underground. The entrance is a lonely door in the side of the hill which leads to a modest auditorium still under that hill. The exit leads out to the top of the hill where dogwood trees would be planted round about, which bloom around the anniversary of the massacre.
