Submission #320 | Ali Hazem and Abdallah Kamhawi: Kaira Looro Peace Pavilion — “Our goal was to use the light as a language to tell the history of the war and the journey to peace, and make the visitors not only see it but feel it. From darkness to light, from disruption to tranquility. TOWARD THE LIGHT pavilion features a long path that starts with an uncomfortable dim, tall and thin entrance to emulate the effect of war and gradually widen and shorten in height to eventually become a serene comfortable contemplation space that emulates peace and calmness.”

Submission #319 | Daniel Whelan: The Black Pit — Since the Cold War, one of the most challenging and urgent tasks facing governments around the world has been the disposal of transuranic nuclear waste.

To address this issue, millions of barrels of highly radioactive waste have been buried in repositories deep beneath the earth’s surface.

Submission #142 | Jun Sho: The Library of Jail — "This idea is inspired by the Pudu Jail which is located near to the site and now it was destroyed a few years ago. The initial idea is to provide a jail and trap visitors inside and feed them with knowledge. The design intent of this project is to create a library to celebrate the jail and provide the reference books which are related to the jail, for example, the jail architecture, criminal phycology and criminal law to the visitors."
