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.

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.

It is estimated that in 2045 the land needed for burials around the world would come to an end. There is no archetypal form for a cemetery, so this design would create one such structure.
