The memorial's design is being chosen through an international competition whose key mandates are harmony with nature, and subtlety: abstract references to the disaster are preferred to literal representations. "We didn't want any design involving waves," says one of the seven jurors, Swedish interior architect Jonas Bohlin. "If you've been through the tsunami, you don't want to walk under a wave again."
