Top architect slams choice of 'sacrosanct' site for victims of communism memorial

A prominent architect who was part of the jury that recommended the winning design for a major new Ottawa memorial to victims of communism says she has a massive problem with the chosen site and doubts the memorial can be built for anything close to its $5.5-million estimated cost.

Shirley Blumberg, a founding partner of KPMB Architects of Toronto and member of theOrder of Canada, was part of the seven-member jury that evaluated six finalists for the new memorial lastsummer.

In an interview, Blumberg said her biggest concern is the inappropriate location chosen for the memorial a 5,000-square-metre site on Wellington Street, between the Supreme Court of Canada and the Library and Public Archives building.

For decades, the site was reserved for a new building for the Federal Court of Canada or another national institution. But Public Works released the site in 2012 for the new memorial.

Blumberg doesnt understand why amemorial to victims of communism was givensuch an incredibly prominent, almost sacrosanct site. It is so centrally placed that it would seem to quite overshadow Canadas true history.

She doesnthaveany problem with thememorial going on another site, but I have a massive problem, a huge problem, with this memorial going on that site. I think it completely misrepresents and skews what Canada is all about.

Moreover, Blumberg believes there is no way the memorial can be built for its estimated price of $5.5 million.

The way it is now, its at least two or three times that, with the technologies they are proposing for the concrete.

The kind of architectural building technology theyre talking about is super-expensive, at the cutting edge, unaffordable and I dont think would stand up to our climate.

Last week, Heritage Minister Shelly Glover said$5.5 million is the approximate cost of the memorial, adding: As we move forward, well have a more final number.
