Historically population has built memorials as containers of information that last through time. The project explores the earthquake events as a repetitve and timeless accident that does not belong to a single/local specific time. The intention of the memorial is not to try recreating a tragedy thru phenomenological architecture scenes, but to honor the victims beyond a brief sensation.

We propose a platform consisting of timeless memorials, monoliths working as entities of information, that could continue to be filled by past and future eartquekes. spread threw the new platform bridge celebrating the memorial for the users.

The memorial proposal sits on river that divides Pijuiapan town from the coastal beach. Located on the existing pier, we propose a new connecting platform, where the people can honor there victims as they cross the bridge headed to the beach, becoming an extension of the town and a merging point with the beach.
