INITAL SITE SKETCH AND PILLAR DETAIL
PILLAR INSTALLATION (2021 VIRGINIA AIA COMPETITION)
LOCATED IN HISTORIC ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA, THE INSTALLATION CREATES A PLACE FOR REFLECTION AND REMEMBRANCE. SET EIGHT FEET BELOW MARKET SQUARE AS A MEANS TO HIGHLIGHT THE WEIGHT OF THIS TIME IN OUR NATIONS PAST. VISITORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME AND PAUSE AND INTERACT WITH THE PILLAR THAT BEARS THE NAMES OF THOSE LYNCHED IN ALEXANDRIA. THE CHANGE IN GRADE ALSO ALLOWS THE INSTALLATION TO REMAIN APART OF THE URBAN FABRIC BUT ALSO OFFER AN ADDED COMPONENT OF PRIVACY.
