Architecture 咖菲论阿柒-In Nanjing

This memorial hall is designed by China well known architect 齐康教授 and where the building is sited today was the excution grounds and mass burial grounds during the Nanjing Massacre by Japan Invaders in 1937.
Covering an area around 28,000 square meters , the whole memorial ground is potrait like the graveyard for the 300,000 victims who were killed during the cruel holocaust. The architect applied abstract susbstances and sculptures which bring a strong feeling of solemn and sorrow when one enters the memorial ground. Grey granite blocks are the main building materials while rocks become the complentary hardscape.The memorial ground composed of 3 main sections: the museum exhibiting the historical displays, the outdoor exhibits and the remaining bones of the victims. The 3 parts are collaborated fairly well to guide the visitors through the story of Nanjing Massacre.
