The Last Vacation
Our project delves into the concept of “human decay” and “architectural decay”. We conclude that while we are alive, we consume energy and resources, but when we die, we release the energy and resources back to the environment. On the other hand, architecture requires the use of energy and resources, and in Cumbria where our territory of research is, extracting natural resources has been a large industry since the beginning, making it unsustainable for the future. Our thesis concept revolves around how we can genuinely close the loop process of decay or released energy, from human death in infrastructure form, so that all of the energy and resources may be repurposed.
We explored a holistic approach by not solely focusing on the physical infrastructure and operational systems of the premises. It delves deeply into the intricate nuances of human behavior, acknowledging the significance of spatial qualities, lighting, emotions, and cultural backgrounds that are inherently intertwined with the experiences surrounding funerals and death. Moreover, the project is keenly aware of the profound emotions and personal connections associated with funeral rituals and the concept of death. Cultural backgrounds, traditions, and beliefs are thoughtfully integrated into the design and implementation processes. By honoring and respecting diverse cultural perspectives, the project aims to create spaces that resonate with individuals from different backgrounds, fostering inclusivity and understanding.
By deeply considering these human behavioral aspects and plug it into the designated infrastructure system, the project strives to create an environment that goes beyond mere functionality. It seeks to provide a profound and meaningful experience for individuals navigating the challenging and sensitive moments associated with funerals and the overall concept of death.
