Individual Project
The aim of the design was to explore the ambivalent relationship between death and immortality at a time when the dialectic between the two has reached a peak of intensity. To plan an unexplored space be tween the scientific-medical, the logistical and the ritualistic. My core idea was to present two worlds. One is expressed in a strict configuration, in the sense of the floor slabs, and the other in open and unique structures.
The whole creates a cubic volume, which from the outside forms an hermetic box that connects the con text and, at the same time, functions as an isolated sculptural object. On the one hand, the idea of the two worlds is represented as galaxies, with gridded systems that have the spatial programmes, that are in constant motion and are under a strict schedule of daily routines.
On the other hand, there are the voids that repre sent the opposite, the emptiness, a different expe rience than the ones from the everyday life, where the feelings are more present. Worlds that depend on each other and manage to exist together in the building.
