dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this thesis is to fracture the crystalized memory of cemeteries to promote a healthy relationship with the presence of passing. Understanding and reintegrating cemeteries within today's urban contextualization. Bridging the taboo nature of cemeteries through its revitalization of space and form. Ultimately reshaping cemeteries into an integral part of a community.en
dc.description.abstractgeneralThe purpose of this thesis is to break the generalized idea of cemeteries functioning only as a place of burial, but as a place of gathering. Instead of being a space isolated from the community, I propose a plan to bring it to the forefront. Through my redesign of a cemetery, I plan to bring life from death.en
