BEYOND EPILOGUE

Often treated as the abode of the dead, the crematoriums lurk behind the gloom, cold and numbness of death itself. While they signify the end to some, they ignite the hope of healing and new beginnings for many others. It helps us to look beyond the darkness and tread towards the ray of hope. "Beyond Epilogue" marks the initiations of these new beginnings.

The Light of Rebirth -- Urban Cemetery Design

Death is both the end and the beginning. It's both the passing and the birth. Death is valuable, and can still play a role in the world in another way . In nature, death makes life. Through the natural death and utilization of the individual, nature is constantly realizing new life, continuing in another way of life, so as to maintain vitality forever.

Life Circle

The cemetery space coexisting with nature is created after studying the death culture and exploring the boundary between space and nature. Space intervention is used to improve people’s fear of death and exclusion of death topics, and the ways to have emotional sustenance and recall are also deeply studied.

Re-Birth

Death was a taboo in our society for a long time now, but strangely, when we look at the myths and religious stories, death leads to a new life, a beginning. Therefore, the aim of the project is to convince the mourning people to a new beginning and to take other people to wander through the area without the fear of being in a cemetery.

Life path

Life and death are closely connected. The life path is an endless process from birth to the moment of physical death. Our project calls to think about how transient our earthly path is and how great this path is in afterlife.

The notion of design is based on the concept of cycle. Death is not the end of life, but the beginning of another. Life and death form a closed loop rather than a single threaded line. And the loop, is the focus of our design.

Circle of Life: Visiting Death

When death dawns, a light in the living goes out. Although mortal ties were severed, the spiritual connection prevails. The urban cemetery project seeks to allude to the missing among the mortal and the presence of the deceased. Through self-reflection, understanding and respect, life is brought face-to-face with death.
