The MRZ Memorial Competition is a collaborative vision by ARD Designs, Dina Al Ahmad, and Arch. Thaer Qubaa, proposing an intervention deeply rooted in the valor of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the peace and security of future generations.

Central to the design concept is the transformation of MRZ Square into a serene sanctuary for children, where they can experience unrestricted play and joy. The envisioned playground features a circular bike track surrounding a lush, indigenous forest— a symbol of resilience and vitality. This dense greenery not only enhances the landscape but also fosters a deep connection with nature, creating a miniature urban forest within the city.

The circular motion of children navigating the bike track animates and enlivens the surrounding greenery, infusing the space with youthful energy and dynamism. By repurposing Martyrs Square into a haven for children, the design honors the sacrifices made by martyrs while nurturing the spirit of peace and freedom they fought for. It stands as a testament to resilience, continuity, and the enduring legacy of those who selflessly gave their lives for a better tomorrow.
