THE RAINBOW OF RENEWAL

The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial

March 2025

Project in collaboration with: Chen Yang, Chao Li

2nd Prize for Buildner Architecture Competition

The project envisions a memorial for the last nuclear bomb through a landscape intervention that transforms destruction into renewal. A circular water installation generates mist, evoking the image of an explosion while simultaneously creating rainbows, symbolizing hope. The design’s ephemeral quality enhances its poetic impact, making it a striking presence on the horizon. The intervention integrates with the natural environment, fostering an evolving atmospheric experience.
