Abstract

Mengacu pada “Horror in Architecture” oleh Joshua Camaroff, desain ini menginterpretasi ulang arsitektur sebagai medium emosional yang melanggar konvensi formal, dengan menggunakan batas ambigu, disorientasi spasial, atmosfer yang suram, dan kesan terperangkap untuk memicu refleksi eksistensial. Memorial Ground Zero menggunakan sejarah uji coba nuklir Trinity, sebuah unprecedented moments, sebagai narasi spasial yang mendalam untuk memberhentikan persenjataan nuklir selamanya. Film horor merupakan salah satu preposisi Camaroff yang kuat dalam mengeksplorasi terkait monstrosity, deviance, uncanny, yang terefleksikan pada lingkungan binaan. Dengan sintaksis film, metode desain akan sengaja menciptakan sinematik horor sesuai dengan kriteria horror mapping yang merupakan pengadaptasian trojan horse dan subterranean architecture yang dirujuk oleh konteks nuklir. Hubungan antara horor sinematik dan horror in architecture bertujuan untuk memperdalam pemahaman tentang bagaimana kualitas yang mengganggu muncul dalam ruang fisik. Hasil desain terlihat melalui: (1) penumpukan massa berulang yang menciptakan bukit buatan yang tampak ambigu seakan tenggelam (2) sirkulasi melengkung yang menurun dan membawa pengunjung melalui lorong-lorong kawah yang sempit dengan ketinggian berbeda (3) ruang-ruang bawah tanah yang dilapisi beton mentah dan lapisan bercak untuk menggambarkan kemunduran; dan (4) sirkulasi bertahap dengan kesan spasial dan informasi yang diawali dari konfrotasi hingga keheningan reflektif pengintegrasian alur stuktural basic to complex. Sebagai peringatan abadi terhadap kekerasan nuklir, Memorial Ground Zero mengenang kehancuran masa lalu dan mewakili sikap tegas terhadap masa depan, bahwa senjata nuklir harus dihentikan, sebelum manusia menghancurkan dirinya sendiri.

Referring to Joshua Camaroff’s “Horror in Architecture,” this design reinterprets architecture as an emotional medium that violates formal conventions, using ambiguous boundaries, spatial disorientation, gloomy atmospheres, and a sense of entrapment to trigger existential reflection. The Ground Zero Memorial uses the history of the Trinity nuclear test, an unprecedented moment, as a profound spatial narrative to stop nuclear weapons forever. Horror films are one of Camaroff’s strong propositions in exploring monstrosity, deviance, and the uncanny, which are reflected in the built environment. Using the syntax of films, the design method deliberately created with cinematic horror in mind, according to the criteria of horror mapping, which draws inspiration from Trojan horses and subterranean architecture, particularly in the context of nuclear themes. The relationship between cinematic horror and horror in architecture seeks to deepen our understanding of how disturbing qualities manifest in physical space. The design result was seen through: (1) repeated mass buildup that creates an artificial hill that appears ambiguous as if it is sinking (2) a descending curved circulation that takes visitors through narrow crater corridors of varying heights (3) underground spaces covered with raw concrete and a layer of spots to depict decline; and (4) a gradual circulation with spatial impressions and information that begins from confrontation to reflective silence integrating the basic to complex structural flow. As a lasting reminder of nuclear violence, the Ground Zero Memorial commemorates the destruction of the past and also represents a firm stance towards the future, that nuclear weapons must be stopped before humanity destroys itself.
