Project idea

During the Second World War, one of the lines of defense of Leningrad, Russia, was the small town of Pavlovsk.
During the war, 1,0242 civilians died in Pavlovsk, of whom only 81 names are known to us.

Project description

Today, Pavlovsk houses about 50 anti-tank structures from the time of the Second World War - Dragon Teeth.
The project proposed using Dragon Teeth for landscaping the territory near Pavlovsk station and creating an Empty Memorial in memory of the nameless victims of the war.

Technical information

The walls of the memorial are monoliths, decorated with marble, with gilded lines. So, the walls resemble empty notebook sheets.
