Grief through interiority and relief. Kiss Memorial honors the life of the 242 people who died in the 2013 fire, the largest in Brazil’s recent history. The project materializes a spatial narrative beginning with a Garden as a memory of Gaucho’s prairie fields and guiding users through a water stream ending in an immersive clay dome, representing simultaneously silence and rebirth.
