Architects are responsible for designing the ways that we commemorate joint experiences of the past, and for creating tangible expressions of shared, collective memories. Throughout history, memorial structures have held a significant place in society, whether as a small shrine to honor a local hero or as a reminder of a larger piece of history such as the Hiroshima Memorial.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, monuments are designed to create a space for those who have been directly or indirectly impacted by these incidents. Architects must creatively compose a place where individuals can either come and share their grief with others or celebrate a climactic moment in time. By creating a space for reflection and healing, monuments mark significant moments in the past while also offering a path forward. This list focuses on North American memorials; while each one is distinct in its cause, impact and representation, the following 7 designs are unified in espousing proudly emotional impacts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145345 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1599&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C640&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C480&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C960&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1279&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-1-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C250&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_145346\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-145346\" class=\"size-full wp-image-145346 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1653&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C661&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C496&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C992&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1323&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tunnel-Through-Time-2-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C258&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-145346\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Images by Gergely Szinnay and Soraya Hegyesi<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/tunnel-through-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Tunnel Through Time<\/strong><\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/hello-wood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hello Wood<\/a>, Toronto, Canada<\/p>\n<p>This installation is a nod to the 37,565 Hungarian refugees that came to Canada after fleeing their home country during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

The length of these bars and the form of the void created below is governed by data that maps the odds stacked against the Black community.

The triangular walls of the monument feature monochromatic paintings of the present-day images of the Holocaust sites photographed by Edward Burtynsky. The artwork, combined with the angled walls, creates an alternate reality that visitors are temporarily transported to.

The names of each of the victims are etched onto this wall. The wall also has a central threshold for light to pass through. On the anniversary of the crash, exactly at the time the event took place, the sunlight passes through this large hole and connects with the paved pattern on the ground.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145363 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1774&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C208&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C710&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C532&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1065&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1419&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-1-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C277&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145364 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1696&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C678&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1017&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1357&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/911-2-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C265&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/national-september-11-memorial-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>National September 11 Memorial<\/strong><\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/handel-architects-llp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Handel Architects<\/a>, New York City, New York<br \/>\nPopular Winner, 2014 A+Awards, Institutional \u2013 Memorials<\/p>\n<p>The attack on the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001 not only shook the country but also the world. This memorial was planned as part of the new World Trade Center complex to remember the past while moving into the future. The open plaza has two reflective pools that are flanked by waterfalls. These recesses represent the absence of those who were lost in the attack, with the individual streams of water falling in echoing these sentiments.

The minimal Battle Born memorial salutes the fallen warriors from Nevada with a contemporary design. The minimal structure is shaped by the geometry of the buildings around it and is accompanied by a granite reflecting pond. The use of a five-pointed is a symbolization of the US. In addition to this, a six-pointed star shows man\u2019s position between the earth and the sky and also points to the six wars that these warriors were a part of. The ceiling is a series of nameplates that feature two names each and are arranged in order of the different wars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Architects: Want to have your project featured?
