field of  urns in a certain sense the national Belorussian memory Kathyn for the victims of the second world war is also a participation project. It was the concept of the architect Levin, to add as may urns in a field assemble as there were Belorussian villages, which were burnt down by the German fascists.

a field of sails
  in the KAJA summer camp 03 in Braslaw it was the concept of the Dutch artist Dan Ooms to converting the hilly landscape to the Dutch northsea. This vision was joined by the participants of the "sails"- workshop. It then seemed reasonable to fit the sea with different forms of sails . Here the connection of most single and individual projects is only evident by knowing the conception behind it.
