The Department of Architecture qualified in the international architectural competition “Designing a Monument to the Events of Nuclear Tests”
Written by sohaibnominated designs to win the international architectural competition, “Designing a Monument to the
Events of Nuclear Testing.”
It is noteworthy that the competition aims to embody the nuclear testing disaster in the Nevada desert
that shook the world.
The two students’ design focused on evoking the idea of light emerging from the center of the
monument as a symbol of hope and development towards a rapid, open era. The appearance of the
monument came to express respect for the privacy of the land and the traces left in it, as it was treated
as a trace of the experiences that had occurred and not covered up and considered as a witness to our
current era. The corridor connected to the road represented an embodiment of the difficulties and
crises that occurred as a result of these experiences and the lives that were lost as a result of reaching
scientific facts that help us continue in life and reach experiences of value to humanity.
The Department of Architecture (chairmanship and staff) congratulates the two student architects on
their qualification to win and wishes them an architectural future full of creative achievements.
