Circle of life

Future city cemetery design: In this project, we use "asylum" and "reborn" as the design theme. We believe that after the death of the human body, the flesh returns to the dust, and the soul will ascend to a "tree of life" to shelter the existing people, the flesh will die but the soul and spirit will be reborn in the form of "the tree of life".

Tree of Memory

We combine "the vertical cemetery" with "tree burial". Take the family as the unit, regarding the tree as the link between the living and the dead. At the same time, the memory of the deceased is transformed into data stored in the capsule to obtain a new immortality. The living can "communicate" to the dead through interactive technology.
