New Safe Confinement

When Chernobyl Reactor 4 exploded, I was eight. During the following days, there was fear mixed with mistrust facing such an invisible enemy. I clearly remember the feeling of powerlessness facing a scary, yet, absurd situation. The 1986 nuclear disaster was a failure of teamwork, but most of all, it drastically changed our perception of technology into something evil and terrible. Today the New Safe Confinement represents the success of collaboration and redeems technology to a positive new hope. Contrasts express the New Nuclear Shelter: bold yet majestic, simple yet straightforward, safe yet built in the most dangerous place, massive yet delicate. The pure geometry converts the ark into a timeless icon. 
In our era dominated by deep individualism and the blind satisfaction of personal egos, the New Safe Confinement is the brand-less masterpiece of the men's goodwill, a triumph of modern engineering and the best result of human collaboration.
