Can architecture
be used as a tool to amalgamate dissimilar religions and inspire spiritual
enlightenment?
The resonating conceptual aim
for this studio was to analyse different types of religious groups existing in
Melbourne. Diagrams were employed to establish and portray the intertwining
connections surviving among the religious groups, despite political confrontations.
The concept for the project envisions
a radical transformation of ancient burial customs into a scheme represented as
a vertical necropolis in the fringes of the CBD.
The vertical necropolis functions
as a hybrid building housing: places of worship, ablutions fountains, cloisters,
meditation and reflection environments, orchards, crematorium, accommodation,
library and a school.
“EVEN A HAPPY LIFE CANNOT BE WITHOUT A MEASURE
OF DARKNESS AND THE WORD HAPPINESS WOULD LOSE ITS MEANING IF IT WERE NOT
BALANCED BY SADNESS”
Ernest Hemingway
