This project presents a monumental structure that embodies the traces of humanity’s relentless wars through an aggressive architectural form. By visualizing the scars of conflict, the structure serves as a symbolic space that urges reflection on past lessons and envisions a more peaceful future.

"It forms aggressive architecture in the traces of the never-ending human war, metamorphosing into a haunting memorial that stands as a testament to the relentless conflicts that have shaped our existence. This architectural manifestation captures the essence of aggression, embodying the indelible scars etched into the collective memory of humanity.

In this aggressive architectural form, the memorial becomes a paradoxical symbol, a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for destruction and a catalyst for introspection and change. It stands as a sentinel in the landscape, urging us to learn from the aggressive echoes of the past and strive towards a future defined by harmony and understanding."
An Overcast is a structure built upon the remnants of faded memories and collective scars, embodying both the underlying anxiety of human existence and the possibility of healing.
“Set atop the remnants of time, the irregular iron spikes rise skyward like collective scars. A small figure stands in silence before the structure at the bottom of the ravine, as a single beam of light seeps through the central void. Even within the mass of condensed darkness and unease, the light continues to find its way through the cracks—holding within it memory, healing, and the weight of human existence.”
