Daniel Libeskind design wins Canadian National Holocaust Monument competition

By Bustler Editors|

Monday, May 12, 2014

Winning design for Canadian National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa by Team Lord of Toronto.

Team Lord of Toronto was announced today as the winner to design the new Canadian National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa, Canada's capital.

Led by co-president of Lord Cultural Resources Gail Dexter-Lord, the Toronto-based team also includes Daniel Libeskind (architect), Edward Burtynsky (artist–photographer), Claude Cormier (landscape architect), and Doris Bergen (subject-matter advisor).

The team's proposal, titled "Landscape of Loss, Memory and Survival", was selected out of six finalists who were invited to present their concepts to a jury of professionals and then to the public during the national design competition.

Read more details about the project below.

"The future National Holocaust Monument will be prominently located in the core of Canada’s Capital, at the corner of Wellington and Booth Streets. The monument site faces the iconic Canadian War Museum and will ensure the lessons of the Holocaust remain within the national consciousness."

Team Lord's concept sketch for Canadian National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa.

"Quick facts about the monument:

  • The winning design is a fully integrated proposal in which architecture, landscape, art and interpretation communicate the hardship and suffering of victims while conveying a powerful message of humanity’s enduring strength and survival.
  • The concept depicts a star created by six triangular volumes at each of its points organized around a large gathering space for ceremonies. Each one of these volumes provides a unique theme and ambiance for interpretation, contemplation and artistic expression.
  • The National Capital Commission will take on responsibility for the design development, construction and maintenance of the National Holocaust Monument." 

Inauguration of the monument's main elements is scheduled for fall 2015.
