YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 23, ARMENPRESS: Construction works of Memorial Park
located in USA California state, city of Pasadena are set to start in
2014 and end in 2015 on the eve of April 24. As Armenpress reports,
Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee states, the Memorial
will be constructed and maintained entirely with private funding.
Armenian communities in the Diaspora is one of the strongest Diaspora
communities. It's important to ensure that there is a public space of
reflection and remembrance for the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Last year community leaders came together and formed the Pasadena
Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee to establish and maintain a
public memorial of the Armenian Genocide within the City.
The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee received 17
submissions for the design of the Memorial and an independent 3 judge
panel unanimously selected the design by Pasadena Art Center
Environmental Design student Catherine Menard.
The central feature of Menard's memorial's minimalist design a
carved-stone basin of water straddled by a tripod arrangement of three
columns leaning into one another is a single drop of water that falls
from the highest point every three seconds, each tear drop
representing one life lost. Over the course of one year, 1.5 million
tears will fall into the pool, the estimated number of victims of the
Armenian Genocide.
