Bonnie Ott, Gary Day and Shahin Vassigh, all associate professors in the Department of Architecture, along with UB alumni Apisit Thanavuthiporn (M Arch 2004), were selected as a finalist in the Chichi Earthquake Memorial Competition. The competition will establish a memorial to the events of Sept. 21, 1999, the date of an enormously destructive earthquake in Taiwan that destroyed 50,000 homes, killed more than 2,400 people and injured more than 8,700 others. The UB team's proposal is to construct a fault-like tear in the project site. Visitors to the memorial would walk down, into and through the earth-walled fault.
