Museum of Experiences

This museum was designed for people to experience and empathise how people used to live underground. With this motive the design uses two techniques to create a space, one being the traditional digging and the other being the covering with the movement of the ground. It builds an image inspired by the 'Peri Bacaları'.

BEYOND THE CITY OF THE DEAD Aldo Rossi Modena Cemetery Conversion

The Cemetery of Modena by Aldo Rossi is undoubtedly one of the most influential Italian icons of the last fifty years. Starting from this assumption, this research seeks to represent a possible solution for the actual emptying precess of Rossi's incomplete cemetery by converting it into a large scale cultural hub able to comply with the current city's needs.

A JOURNEY OF THE DEAD

This proposal redefines the concept of a cemetery and tries to marry the concept of a public space with the place where the dead go to rest... It explores the cemetery as an active part of the urban fabric. It allows for the journey of death to take place in a a public space without interrupting the daily activity of a city and vice versa...

Life path

Life and death are closely connected. The life path is an endless process from birth to the moment of physical death. Our project calls to think about how transient our earthly path is and how great this path is in afterlife.

poetic dwelling

Poetic Dwelling provides a resting place for the deceased. The process from ashes to fertilizer is completed in the hourglass-shaped central building, so that the deceased can return to nature and give birth to new life, thus completing the cycle of life. Independent funeral buildings that accommodate different religious beliefs.

"BOX" VARIES

In our design, the ashes will be used to nourish the potted plant that symbolizes the dead, so that each dead person will realize its second life. We hope that the deceased will make his own decision based on his own culture, beliefs and preferences. We have adopted a module with a variable structure and stacked these modules vertically.

Is This The End?

Humans always see cemeteries as a soulless and unbearable place. So they just go there to see their departed family or friends. But we can change this meaning of a cemetery to a plaza by changing a dead place to a dynamic and lively one.

In Light We Return

The project is to replace the traditional generic cemetery space with highly differentiated urban context, releasing the identical heavy stone-made tombs on the ground to various sensitive crystal-like prism in the sky, the tension between life and death, mortal and immortal, past and future has been reintegrated in increasing densified urban realms.

Life Circle

The cemetery space coexisting with nature is created after studying the death culture and exploring the boundary between space and nature. Space intervention is used to improve people’s fear of death and exclusion of death topics, and the ways to have emotional sustenance and recall are also deeply studied.
