heal the world
By maisonhubertz (san francisco, california)
MJ reached out to all people to create a more harmonious worldwide culture of acceptance and compassion. He donated $500 million to charities worldwide. The towers proposed create new cultural destinations and places for reflection. The sculptures are sited in the areas of the highest instances of chronic malnutrition among children, a statistic correlated with poverty, as his ultimate gift to communities less fortunate. Vertical timelines, interactive sculptures and natural energy harvesters.

This concept is likely to make the most global impact. Rather than focus on creating a large replication of Michael's likeness and call more attention to the spectacle that his controversial life became. This entry at least attempts to help other people. Perhaps it is most appropriate to have a series of memorials across the world and not a single monument in america where so many shamed and abandoned Michael during the later phases of his life. I appreciate the idea of adopting the typology of other successful global memorials as diagrammed on the board and support the creation of a cleanly designed and functional iconic tower.

Not much to be said about this one. I don't think it will do his career and his accomplishments any justice in a location where nobody who actually lives there would even appreciate it.

your design is well thought out and geared specifically for its surroundings which makes it an interesting site. i believe michael jackson would have appreciated the tower's purpose because he was a loyal advocate of keeping children safe and healthy. i think the time line is an interesting design which enriches the overall elegance of the tower.

This is supposed to attract tourism? Boring design. How does the structure harvest energy?

I think while arthurmani brings up a good point, i think the mere presence of the tower is likely to attract some tourism and bring some sort of foreign cash flow into the poverish areas. with tourism comes employment. therefore, if the tower ends up giving back to the malnourished, impoverished kid, not to mention the jobs that the construction will create, then MJ's legacy lives on. well designed, maisonhubertz.

Well presented and fair idea. good work! My only reserve is the monument itself, how do you think this child would react with a tower like this behind him when he s only looking for water or food?i wish you showed tourist around or somekind of cash attractor to pay back these kids and make the thing work:) anyways nice to see someone who does something MJ would have liked and that is not only about making MJ a reclusive semi-god.
