A concept proposal to turn Grenfell Tower into a blackened windowless memorial skyscraper has been criticised as ‘misery porn’ which could re-traumatise residents.

Earlier this month London based JAA Studio released concept images of its ‘Grenfell Tower: In Memoriam’ scheme in which the original burnt-out structure would be encased in a ‘sarcophagus of black concrete panels.’

As part of the design, Flat 16, where the fire started would be illuminated at night ‘as narrator of the tragic event’, with the architects claiming that ‘the city needs its scars.’
