Funerary Landscape
Design and architectural approaches to cemeteries, crematoria, and spaces for death rituals within urban and natural landscapes.
Funerary landscape encompasses the design of spaces dedicated to death, remembrance, and ritual. This includes cemeteries, crematoria, and memorial sites that serve both practical and ceremonial functions within communities. Designers working in this field address how these spaces integrate with urban environments, respond to cultural practices, and create meaningful places for grief and memory.The community explores vertical and sustainable approaches to funerary architecture, reimagined crematorium designs, and how death-related infrastructure can function as civic spaces. Projects examine contemporary cemetery architecture across different cultural contexts, from Nepal to Portugal to India, investigating how landscape design and ritual can be reconsidered for modern urban conditions.
