Des Baker: Blood diamond park
[MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, USA]
BAS Year 3, NMMU
Design Presentation

This project is about bringing awareness to the exploitation and suffering related to blood diamonds obtained from countries in Africa. The shiny polished end product is a far cry from where the original diamoinds are obtained. This memorial park located in Manhatten New York, a typical up-market location where these finished diamonds are sold, aims to highlight the different stages of obtaining the diamonds from conflict zones in Africa, such as Sierra Leone.
