About Discussions Projects25 Journals13

Burial encompasses the design of spaces and structures dedicated to death, remembrance, and the disposition of remains. Designers working in this area engage with cultural practices, environmental concerns, and the relationship between mortality and the built environment.

The community explores vertical and urban cemetery solutions, crematorium design, integration of burial grounds with public parks and landscapes, and contemporary approaches to funerary architecture that reconsider how cities accommodate death and memory.

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.

Annabelle

Urban Cemetery

As the urban contexte generates a difficulty to cut oneself off from the activity, the design is based on an introverted form. The exterior appearance reflect urbanity as the interior is a sort of protected parc. Two atmosphers, two landspaces. The moment of death is treated as a « passage ». All the design tends to reveal and to mark each temporality.

Re-Imagining the Urban Crematorium

Re-thinking crematorium and cemetery design in cities where a secular approach is undertaken to understand the psychology of the mourner without any religious bias. Segregating public, making provisions for a public park and a contemplative park, the proposal looks to make such sacred spaces approachable and experiential being perceived as taboo spaces.

Good Death Best Park

A new cemetery in context of future. It contains all the dead bodies with an intention to solve the area problem and bring all the religion being together in the same place.

Annie

Primitive and Remnant of the Cycle

To eliminate the horror of the cemetery and to reconnect the departed one into our daily life, I believe that the cemetery can be more than a piece of land for resting the deceased. It can also be a decent and splendid place that situates all around our cities.

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...

looking at the cemetery as a growing system that is given time to develop and sculpt itself, becoming an iconic part of the urban fabric and an ecological hotspot.

Parting in matter,Reunion in spirit

People bid farewell to the ashes in a clear spring, let the current lead people to experience parting, merge into a waterfall into the garden, and the memories of loved ones are presented through projection. The material follows the clear spring to return the soil, while the spirit remains here forever to comfort those who come.

Between Memory and Oblivion: Mourning courses

The present senior thesis addresses the creation of a refugee cemetery on the island of Lesvos. Placing great emphasis on notions such as memory, loss and mourning, we try to design this peculiar burial ground. Collective memory and private memory are united in a transitional space, where one is being prepared for what is to follow.

鹤立 and 亚楠

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.
