Kuth Ranieri Architects have a long-standing focus on civic memorials. Designing for the civic memorials satisfies the desire to say the unspeakable—and, in the spirit of Louis Kahn, to freely express the unmeasurable qualities of architecture. Throughout the years, the firm has designed several plans for memorials, including but not limited to the AIDS Memorial Grove (San Francisco), Clover (Santa Rosa), and The Harvey Milk Memorial Plaza (San Francisco).
In March of 2023, Liz and Byron had the opportunity to expand their interest in memorial design at the American Academy in Rome. During their time at the Academy, Liz and Byon researched a wide array of Italian memorial and funerary sites, a venture that eventually lead to the birth of the World Phoenix Project.
