Project Description
Death is one of the significant moment in a person’s life.

Drawing elements of nature like earth, water and combining them with local belief specifically religion (Buddhism), culture and local people the design rethinks the relationship with nature, humans, and culture and seek to reconnect the locals as well as the visitor with the natural beauty of the land and the complex, rich tradition of the local culture that the land has to offer.Light and Dark could play a significant role in the process of mourning and defining space during funeral practices. Light being a key concept in my project, many analyses were made on how light could be an essential part of enhancing space.
