    14:27, 4 December, 2012

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS: The Pasadena Armenian Genocide
    Memorial Committee announced that the Committee received 17 design
    proposals for the Armenian Genocide Memorial project proposed to be
    located in Memorial Park in the City of Pasadena. Six of the design
    proposals are from students at the Pasadena Art Center College of
    Design, reports Armenpress citing Asbarez. The Committee has formed
    an independent panel of 3 distinguished professional judges to
    review and rank all 17 design proposals. The review panel's written
    recommendations will be forwarded to the Board which will make the
    final selection. The independent review panel met on December 1 to
    begin the review process. One of the judges was Stefanos Polyzoides
    a principal of Moule & Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists.

    Polyzoides' distinguished career covers the areas of architectural and
    urban design education, design and theory. He is an Associate Professor
    of Architecture at the University of Southern California and has been a
    Visiting Professor at several schools including Princeton University,
    where he was on the Advisory Board of the School of Architecture from
    1983-1990. His recent design experience includes major urban design
    projects, such as the Pasadena Civic Center/Midtown Urban Design
    Program; the San Gabriel Valley Urban Design Plan for seven cities in
    the San Gabriel Valley; the 1,000-acre Playa Vista New Town; the Los
    Angeles Downtown Strategic Plan; the Beverly Hills Downtown Enhancement
    Plan; and the Glendale Town Center for Glendale, California. The
    other judges were Ruben Amirian a prominent architect/artist who has
    served on the design review board and historic commission in Glendale
    and Neshan Peroomian a contractor and prominent Armenian-American
    community leader. The review panel's written recommendations will be
    forwarded to the Board of Directors of the Pasadena Armenian Genocide
    Memorial Committee which will make the final selection.
