HWKN Proposal - On February 13, 2023, Michigan State University (MSU) experienced a tragic event that left it forever changed. While we cannot understand the extent of the suffering, Circles of Memory will be a place where all can reflect, learn, and remember the lives of those students lost while pursuing healing in community and experience a positive outlook into the future. Unlike a traditional monument, Circles of Memory will be an experiential memorial, integrating static elements that invite reflection with interactive features fostering engagement, every-day activities, dialogue, and connection across the community. Located within the serene landscape of Sleepy Hollow, Circles of Memory incorporates a new path and three distinct remembrance spaces, each centered around a tree. The new path serves as both a valuable connection and a natural interlude for MSU. The memorial’s three spaces include: the Gathering Circle, the Meditative Circle, and the Social Circle. The Gathering Circle, a swooping amphitheater, invites the community to come together for ceremonies, performances, and shared remembrance. The Meditative Circle offers a quiet sanctuary for personal reflection. And the Social Circle fosters connection and conversation, allowing visitors to engage and share memories. Each circle features a unique design, yet all share common elements. The circle's path, seating, and signage are finished with bronze metal to symbolize memory and concrete to establish the physical. At the center of each circle, a unique tree celebrates Alexandria, Arielle, and Brian with a plaque etched with their names and a tribute to the lives they lived. Circles of Memory will serve as a gathering space for continuing their memory, a place of refuge for reflection, and a connector for those seeking comfort in community. The path that weaves them together leads toward a renewed and united MSU.
