New Jersey AIA Promotes Holocaust Memorial Design Competition
The New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects is encouraging its members to participate in an international competition to design an Atlantic City Boardwalk Holocaust Memorial.
The two-stage design competition asks entrants to submit their design concepts in digital form as part of the first stage. A panel of jurors including architects Wendy Evans Joseph who helped design the U.S Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.; former Pritzker Prize winner Richard Meier; and Daniel Liebeskind, the planner commissioned to rebuild the World Trade Center site will then select six to ten finalists who will each be awarded $2,500 to develop a three-dimensional model and fully realized scheme for the site.
