Memorial to those killed in Odesa planned not only as a place of remembrance

A memorial in honor of the soldiers who gave their lives for Ukraine has been designed in Odesa, which is planned to be not only a place of remembrance but also a space where everyone can feel the depth of gratitude and respect for those who died for Ukraine.

This is what Accents talked about with members of the public and the author of the concept.

According to the author of the project, David Pishchev, the main idea of the memorial is to make it different from the typical architecture of the city and to transport visitors to a special atmosphere of remembrance. The memorial will include three existing burial plots around the runway, which will be combined into a single structure without reburial.

The project plans to create an interfaith chapel accessible to all religions and atheists, as well as columbaria to preserve the ashes and future military burials. In addition, the memorial will have a small park to protect the area from northwesterly winds and an abstract sculpture for personal expressions of grief - drawings, stickers, and other creative signs of remembrance.
