Abstract

The article is devoted to a scholarly examination of the architectural and compositional structure of the Ganja Memorial Complex. The study systematically explores the spatial organization of the complex, its functional zoning, artistic expressive means, and key compositional elements. Particular attention is given to the semantic content of the spiral-shaped planning solution, interpreted as a visual metaphor for the trace of an explosion and traumatic memory. The article analyzes the interaction between open and enclosed spaces, the role of the museum building within the overall composition, as well as the integration of fragments of ruins into the memorial environment. Based on a synthesis of semantic and compositional approaches, it is determined that the architectural language of the complex functions not only as an aesthetic form but also as a carrier of ideological and historical meaning.

The research findings demonstrate that the composition of the Ganja Memorial Complex holds significant importance in terms of the spatialization of collective memory, the visual interpretation of historical events, and the emotional guidance of visitor experience.
