ACCORDING TO RECENT STUDIES, POPULATION AGING IS ACCELERATING DURING THE PERIOD FROM 2012 TO 2036. EVERY YEAR, THE NUMBER OF DEATHS RISES, AND THE DEMAND FOR CEMETERY PLOTS RISES AS WELL. HOWEVER, CEMETERY GROWTH IS CONSTRAINED BY VARIOUS RESTRAINTS AND LIMITED LAND, SO THE LACK OF CEMETERY PLOTS HAS BECOME ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT MUST BE HANDLED IN NSW.

EVERY MORTAL DIES, AND A CEMETERY IS COMMONLY THOUGHT TO BE WHERE THE DECEASED LIE ONCE THEIR LIFE HAS COME TO AN END, HOWEVER, THE END OF LIFE DOES NOT MEAN VIRTUALLY MEANINGLESS SLEEP UNDERGROUND.IT IS NOT ONLY A SITE WHERE THE LIVING REMEMBER THE DECEASED, BUT IT IS ALSO A STATION WHERE THE DECEASED CAN REINCARNATE AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE NATURE AND THE LIVING WITH A DIFFERENT FORM OF LIFE.
WHAT I HOPE IS THAT THE COMBINATION OF WILDFLOWER NURSERY AND CREMATORIUM WILL SERVE AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEAD, CARRYING THE AFFECTION OF THE LIVING WHILE ALLOWING THE LIFE VALUE OF THE DEAD TO CONTINUE AND ALLOWING SPIRITUAL DISCOURSE BETWEEN THE TWO.

SYMBOLIZATION OF CREMETORIUM
SYMBOLIZATION OF WIDEFLOWER NURSERY

THE CREMATORIUM IS THE PLACE THAT TRADITIONALLY REPRESENTS DEATH, DUST, SADNESS AND HEAT. FOR WILDFLOWER NURSERIES, FLOWERS ARE ALWAYS A SYMBOL OF ALIVE, LIVING AND NATURE. FLOWERS ARE USED TO MAKING DEATH SEEM MORE BEAUTIFUL. ALSO, FLOWERS ARE THE SPIRITUAL SUSTENANCE OF THE BEREAVED. IN A SPECIAL SITUATION, TIME STOPPED FOR DEATH, BUT THE PLANTS’ TIME CONTINUES, IT CAN SEEM AS IF PLANTS ARE THE CONTINUATION OF LIFE.
AIMED TO FIND A RECYCLABLE BURIED METHOD IN URBAN PLACES, COMBING THE CREMATORIUM AND WILDFLOWER NURSERY HELPS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF ASHES STORAGE AND FUNERAL PROBLEM, WHICH SATISFIES THE POSSIBILITY OF ECOLOGICAL CIRCULATION.
CONCEPT-COLLAGE

USING FIGURATIVE PETALS AND ASH TO REPRESENT THE WILDFLOWER NURSERY AND CREMATORIUM. THE CREMATORIUM IS REPRESENTED BY THE ASHES, IT REPRESENTS SILENCE, AND THE URN IS MONOTONOUS. NURSERY IS REPRESENTED BY PETALS, IT IS VIBRANT AND WILDFLOWERS ARE UNIQUE.THE MODEL SHOWS A STRONG CONTRAST IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO FUNCTION.

MODEL1
WILDFLOWERS HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF STRENGTH AND VIGOUR. TO DEMONSTRATE THIS, I UTILISED TOUGHER WOOD STICKS. INSTEAD, IN A CREMATORIUM, THE DECEASED LOSE THEIR LIFE AND BECOME ASHES, THEY ARE LIGHT, AND I DEMONSTRATED THIS WITH TRACING PAPER.
ADVANCING THE CONCEPT OF USING THE CREMAINS OF THE DECEASED AS SEED GERMINATION NUTRIENTS TO REPRESENT THE REINCARNATION OF LIFE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SEED GERMINATION AND GROWTH.

CHALLENGES
STATEGIES
-DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF SURROUNDING BUILDINGS ON LIGHT, THERE IS A PROBLEM OF INSUFFICIENT LIGHT
-MINIMIZE BLOCKING OF LIGHT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND USE A STEPPED APPROACH TO BRING LIGHT INTO THE ROOM
-INSUFFICIENT GREENING IN URBAN CENTERS
-FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY, THE BUILDING NEEDS TO BE ECO FRIENDLY
-TURN THE WILDFLOWER NUESERY INTO AN URBAN VERTICAL PARK, A GREEN LUNG OF THE CITY, WHICH PROVIDES OXYGEN AND ABSORBS CARBON DIOXIDE FOR THE CITY -MAKING BUILDINGS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY IN TERMS OF EXHAUST GAS TREATMENT, USE OF BUILDING MATERIALS, GREENERY IN BUILDINGS, ENERGY RECOVERY AND ASH DISPOSAL

WITH THE ANNUAL NUMBER OF DEATHS ON THE RISE IN THE NEXT FEW DECADES, AND THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR CEMETERIES IN THE FUTURE, URBAN PLANNERS NEED TO FIND WAYS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF CEMETERIES THAT ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, ENERGY-SAVING AND LAND-SAVING
