Burial Ground: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects10 Journals9

Burial grounds represent a convergence of memorial, ecological, and urban design concerns. Designers working in this space address how communities honor the deceased while creating functional, meaningful landscapes that serve the living.

The community explores cemetery redesign as forestry and parkland, integration of burial with agricultural cycles, vertical and stacked burial systems, and the transformation of memorial spaces into living ecosystems that sustain both memory and nature.

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...

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.

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.
