| Competition type | The international design competition was organized as an anonymous two-stage project competition with an open pre-qualification procedure. The competition was divided in two competition parts (“nominations”) – the memorial and the museum. These tasks were subject of two parallel processes in Stage 1. For each part (“maidan memorial competition” and “maidan museum competition”), different competitors were selected. At the end of Stage 1, after a public viewing - the winning design for the “maidan memorial” was selected by the jury and publically announced. Subsequently the winning scheme of the memorial was integrated into all design proposals of Stage 2 of the “maidan museum competition”. Despite the division in two parts, both memorial and museum were regarded as interacting subjects, that had to be developed in an intertwining process. To support the interaction, both subjects were integrated in the two-stage competition. The languages used in the competition were English and Ukrainian, both enjoying equal status. However, in case of discrepancy between the English and the Ukrainian version of the present document, the English version was binding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
