 19. PHASE 2 OF THE COMPETITION 
Procedure, required design documents and transmission
In phase 2, the chosen proposals must fully develop the design concept from phase 1 with the level of detail that is specified below. The participants must send a double copy of the following material: 2 charts in A1 format, folded in A4 format, and an explanatory report in A4 format, (max 12,000 characters).

The packet containing the hard copy of the project design documents must be sent by post or express delivery to the Official Secretariat: U.C.E.I. - Unità delle Comunità Ebraiche Italiane - Lungotevere Sanzio 9 - 00153 Rome. For delivery, the postmark date will be proof of dispatch; in any case, any packets that arrive after 12.00 pm (+ 1 GMT) on the 24th of June will not be accepted.
The sealed package must be completely anonymous in all its parts and must only include, on penalty of disqualification:

• the address of the promoter with the following wording “Bologna Shoah Memorial Competition”
• as sender: Comunità Ebraica di Bologna via De’ Gombruti, 9 -  40123 Bologna - Italy

Inside it will include the design proposal, made up of the graphic design documents printed on paper and marked only with the alphanumeric code of phase 2, placed in the upper right-hand corner of each document, as well as a digital PDF copy of the same design documents provided on CD/DVD; the sender must ensure that any reference to the author has been removed.
To guarantee the uniformity of the alphanumeric code it should be inserted in a rectangle measuring 30/10mm.
Any design documents that contain, in addition to the alphanumeric code, any other recognisable elements that could lead back to the authorship of the design document will be excluded from assessment."

Within the scheduled timeframe, and by the due date of April 7^th, 284 projects were submitted, and were examined during the last week by the individual members of the Jury.  A reunion of the Jury members was held yesterday at the offices of the Bologna Association of Architects between 15:30 and 20:30 in the evening.  Each Jury member presented at the meeting with a list of 10 projects which they felt were the most interesting among those submitted, and they were each amply discussed during the reunion.

The Jury was composed of the following members:

•   Peter Eisemann, president (in videoconference)
•   Rabbi Felipe Goodman (in videoconference)
•   Simone Cola
•   Francesco Evangelisti
•   Victor Magiar (in videoconference)
•   Gianfranco Maraniello
•   Maura Pozzati

There was found to be an overall very high quality of the numerous presented projects which affronted, through very different approaches, a theme both complicated by its relation to the objective of the competition and in relation to the area proposed for the realization of the memorial.

In particular, it must be mentioned, that the projects discussed the most, from which were chosen those moving onto the second phase, proposed concepts most capable of uniting the need to realize an urban monument which evokes The Shoah and the contextual necessity to consider an urban fragment connected, albeit in a discontinuous manner, to important city hubs and the city’s infrastructure.

With respect to the projects selected to move on to the second phase, the Jury, in relation to the elevated number of stimulating proposals received, has agreed to increase the number of projects invited to participate.  For this reason, the organization has therefore allocated the resources necessary to reimburse expenses of 5,000 Euros for the four projects identified by the following codes:

SHOB1909 

L538146B 

B70LIF39 

B4R67H80 

With regards to the design contents to develop for the second phase deadline the Jury, in order to carry out a comparative evaluation of the projects and in respect to the necessity that the projects developed will lead to works consistent with relation to the theme and budget established in the competition announcement, requests that:

-A clear explanation is given, in the case in which the projects did not express this in the first phase, of the projects references, not exclusively of a spatial nature, but also to the theme of the competition;
-To define in a precise manner what changes will be made to the area designated for the realization of the memorial, clarifying what will be the function and appearance at the conclusion of the project, of the spaces facing in the direction via Carracci and that facing towards the railway lines;
-To clearly spell out the modalities in which the spaces created may be used, with references as to the maintenance required by the project as well as references demonstrating that the requirement for the spaces created within the project to be safe and allow for a free fruition without the need for vigilance of said spaces;
-To prepare a technical/economic assessment with respect to the financial sustainability of the project referring, to that, which pertains to the prices inserted in the estimation of the work, using the price list of the Emilia-Romagna region downloadable in the “document” section on the site.

The list of projects selected for Phase 2 is :

SHOB1909

L538146B

B70LIF39

B4R67H80

As soon as possible will be published the minutes of the jury with some notes for designers chosen for Phase 2
