Designer( 09) - Claude Cormier

 Claude Cormier 

Claude Cormier is a famous Canadian landscape architect. He was the founder of the CCXA .CCXA provides landscape architecture and the urban design service. I referred many CCXA's projects to the review. I personally love with the concept of the Pulse memorial, which is located in Florida, USA. The aim of the project is to remember the terrorist attack that was held on 12.06.2016 in Florida, USA. 

There are some orders given to the landscape architecture team by the USA government,

• Should be a heart- shaped promenade formed by the rainbow colours.
• Days in a year should be explained. 
• There was a sad memory. So, something has to be constructed to explain the heart break situation ( Dark). 
• 0.27% ( 1/366) of promenade has to explain the happy and the joyful life & celebration. 
• should be a iconic landmark.

The aesthetic concept was designed by CCXA by interconnecting the main requirements.  

This is the final conceptual design of CCXA. 

• 36 shades of the rainbow colours explains the happy moment of the life and  joy.
• The Zig-Zag concrete structure provides a hard and dark look which means heart-break or sadness. 
• Altogether 366 gates reflects the 366 days in a year. June 11- June 12 considered as a long night of the year of 2016.( June 11- June 12 indicated as a dark area)
