Project Overview
Upon the 75th anniversary of the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima that killed upwards of 100,000 people, the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons was adopted in 2017. To recognize the importance of this treaty, the competition call sought designs for a conceptual memorial project to be located on any known decommissioned nuclear weapon testing site. We proposed the memorial at the nuclear testing site near Montebello Island, one of the British nuclear testing sites in Australia.
In response to the global silence surrounding the issue of nuclear weapons, participants in the Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial / Edition No 2 competitions were tasked to submit their designs with no description text.
