City pavilion.
Place memorial involves placing cylinders in the town on appearing void spaces (destroyed monuments, territory in dispute etc). The monument is replaced by a black cube confined in the transparent cylinder. The cube – information space – the “black box” – the museum of the Place. The cylinder – the symbol of time – the space of time. The Place Memoria form optically shifts from the cylinder to the cube. In the daytime, the surface of the cylinder is mirror-like, and the surface of the cube lets light pass inside.
