The Last Genocide Memorial | Open International Design Competition

Architecture

Brampton, Canada

Honorable Mention Award

Represented in architectural concepts of reflection and void, this memorial explores the cultural, social, and humanitarian impacts that genocide imprints on the human condition. The charred and vacant cavity at the core of the memorial starkly contrasts against the polished and mirrored surfaces of the exterior. Upon approach and without consent, visitors become elements of the composition through their reflection. Entering the fire-hollowed core of the memorial, visitors lose their reflection becoming witness to the resultant void of genocide. The blackened timbers converge overhead and form a small oculus allowing a single beam of light to penetrate the darkness.

Education

Bachelor of Architecture
Drexel University

Raised in PA, I studied at Drexel University in Philadelphia while working full-time for a mid-size architecture firm in the area. My wife and I fell in love with NC after visiting, and moved down as soon as we could after graduation. I have been blessed with a variety of experience on projects of many types and sizes. And I’m always hungry for the next challenge!

As architects and designers, we quite literally shape the world in which we live. The truth that every project has an impact on the world beyond itself is a reality that I recognize that as a tremendous responsibility. At the end of each project, I aim to be able to confidently say the world is better than it was before, even if just a little bit.

On my desk you will always find an inspiring quote or two.

When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my wife and keeping up with my boys.
