Japanese architect Hideki Yoshimatsu has collaborated with Archipro Architects, and presents their intensely moving symphony of materials and sound, the cemetery for the unknown in Hiroshima, Japan. Represented by 1500 stainless steel rods which form abstracted groves silhouetted against dark vegetation.

Sasa Begovic of 3LHD Architects presents their extraordinarily dignified memorial bridge in Rijeka. Dedicated to the dead in the civil wars, this bridge connects the east and west of the city centre through its project of simplicity and sophistication.
