I really like the design...as a shade element for a small park. And I am all for subtlety in memorials. But this is TOO subtle to be a memorial. To the point where its almost an insult to just slap AIDS on the side and call it a memorial to AIDS victims.

I think memorials should at least have the subject matter reflected in the design somehow. This looks like someone experimented with interesting patterns in canopy designs and then when the AIDS memorial project came to their desk they pulled this out of the filing cabinet and moved on to the next project.

Its nice, and fits well with the location. But it seems cheap to tack on that name to a bench and call it an AIDS memorial.
