" FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY "
DETAILS
Commemorating the sacrifices of our martyrs, the Shohuda Monument is a representation of our people and the shohudas protecting them and Pakistan. The base of the structure is a pentagon consisting of 5 corners, on top of which lies the star shaped structure which represents the people of Pakistan. Surrounding the star is a water body which portrays turbulence faced by the nation and which is overpowered by the 5 inclined pillars shielding them.
Commemorating the sacrifices of our martyrs, the Shohuda Monument is a representation of our people and the shohudas protecting them and Pakistan. The base of the structure is a pentagon consisting of 5 corners, on top of which lies the star shaped structure which represents the people of Pakistan. Surrounding the star is a water body which portrays turbulence faced by the nation and which is overpowered by the 5 inclined pillars shielding them. These vertical inclined pillars which are collectively standing eighty feet high represent people who have fought valiantly to protect and safeguard our country. In the middle of these pillars lies a post where flag will hoist at about a staggering height of hundred feet. These individual posts have been designed to have the names of the shohuda. This whole structure is hundred and twenty-five feet in diameter, built within three hundred- and twenty-four-feet diameter roundabout. Along with it a crescent shaped structure has been added, which has been used metaphorically to represent the star and moon from the Pakistani flag. Also, multiple green spaces are added, consisting of ample landscaping features, including shrubbery and flower beds. All in all, there is a balanced formation of manmade structures and nature in this project.
