The sectional quality of the design and the sight is very important in my design. The plan of the addition is very straightforward with these clusters of the tombs creating smaller mourning/ reflection spaces. In the original design the site has a very interesting quality of "entering the ground". I have created several areas where the visitors to the site can enter the ground and exit the ground to enter spaces or as transitional areas. I thought that the transition into or out of the ground was the most important feature of this cemetery. There are transitions into the ground for urn spaces and the museum area. There are already existing transitions like these with the entry and exit of the chapel, the entry and exit of the mortuary, the ramping of the tomb area into the ground, and also with the family crypts at the end of the path.
The central space that is created with the backs of the tomb structures allows for a peaceful, open area for family members to gather and reflect, or individuals to contemplate.
Death is a heavy topic, so my goal is to cater to different peoples' needs to help them through this tough time.
