French Memorial Design Competition: Finalist

Posted by Celia Biggs / 25 September 2016

CCM Architects are pleased to announce that we have been one of four shortlisted for the French Memorial Design Competition.

Designers of “L’Arc de Paix -The Arc of Peace”, comprised of team members Kingsley Baird (artist) and Adam Flowers (CCM Architects) with Professor Annette Becker (French historian), Allen Wihongi (Maori cultural advisor) and Alistair Cattanach (Structural Engineer).

The Arc of Peace memorial acknowledges the enduring friendship between New Zealand and France forged by shared experiences of war and peacekeeping and the two nations’ deep cultural affinities. Recognizably French qualities are expressed in the design, materials, and symbols. As a ‘living monument’, the experiential nature of L’Arc de Paix is enabled via visitor engagement with the memorial’s features.
