Archi Trails

 

The primary objective is to design the Chernobyl Anti-Radiation Pavilion, a landmark structure that masterfully integrates advanced safety design with a deeply resonant memorial experience. Participants must propose an architectural intervention that provides verifiable shielding from ambient radiation, creating a safe haven for visitors to rest and contemplate. This pavilion should also serve an educational purpose, using its form, materials, and integrated displays to narrate the story of the disaster, honor the liquidators, and explore the ongoing environmental and human consequences. The final design should be a powerful, respectful, and innovative piece of architecture that enhances the visitor’s journey through the Exclusion Zone while prioritizing their well-being.
