Life After Death TRN 1

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”
