Who designed the memorial?

Written By Peter Freeby

In conjunction with Architectural Record and Architizer, The NYC AIDS Memorial launched an international design competition in November 2011, chaired by Michael Arad, the designer of the National September 11 Memorial, to generate ideas for the memorial park design. Nearly 500 architects from around the world submitted designs. Studio ai, based in Brooklyn, won the competition to become the memorial’s architect and designed the space as built today. The architects created an opportunity for engraving in the paver stones of the memorial, the text for which was selected and designed by world-renowned visual artist Jenny Holzer, and features selections from Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself.
