Week envisions Qatar World Cup migrant worker memorial to “reflect the scale of the humanitarian disaster”
France- and Chile-based studio Week designed the octagonal structure to draw attention to the well-documented human rights abuses that have occurred in Qatar ahead of the tournament.
Named the Qatar World Cup Memorial, the tower would be constructed from stacked concrete blocks, with each block representing one of the migrant workers reported to have died in Qatar since the country won the right to host the World Cup in 2010.
Week based the final height of the tower on the number of migrant worker deaths reported by the Guardian in 2021. The paper calculated that at least 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka had died in the Qatar between 2010 and 2020.
La hauteur prévisionnelle serait de 4,4 km !
