  • Circle of Remembrance: Memorial to the Enslaved of African Ancestry” April 16, 2021
    Village of Irvington RFQ Design Professional for a Memorial Space “Circle of Remembrance: Memorial to the Enslaved of African Ancestry” April 16, 2021 1. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Village of Irvington is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from design firms for work associated with the Village of Irvington project. The goals of the project are: To design a space for contemplation, reflection, remembrance and learning about the enslaved of African ancestry who lived and died here To design a space for public use on Village property To design a sitting area within the space for small groups (adults or children) to engage in an organized learning experience, or for individuals, couples or small groups to use for personal contemplation To include in the design supporting informational signage and/or engraved textual information for those who visit the location (texts may be both historic and poetic) To include near the space, wayfinding signage To consider including in the design, features of “circle” and ways to convey “reflection” Illustrative Example: The core element would be a circular stone bench, perhaps 15 feet in diameter, located in the widest area of the triangular park (the north end). This bench might have one or two openings in it to allow easy egress (so, two semi-circles). The circular space in the middle of the benches would hold engraved remembrance text. This central area might be raised as a table-like feature, or could be left at grade. (If raised, this area would be potentially useful flat surface for teachers and students.) Existing walls could be enhanced or raised where necessary, and informational signage and a map could be mounted on the wall if appropriate.
