Chan Wing Chung, Angus Ng Pak Kei, Ronald Chan Ka Chun, Kavin Chan Yau Hin, Albert
The traditional cemetery settlement is challenged by proposing a slanted mega-structure shrine-scraper with colourful tangram-composed facades and halls to reflect its energetic Kabukicho culture, thus springing out a resurrected life, from death to rebirth emotion.ations. Innovative tower comes up and challenges traditional podium tower, as well as developing a healthier urban environment.

What is the identity of our Soul? Our pass-by are trapped
The Garden-barium Return to nature, the ownerless grave (The single men & elderly) will never be alone
Idea: Tangram-ism 構想: タングラムの人生変化 We will return to nature and begin a new stage of journey, as like the character of tangram, a metaphor in carrying on our life with infinite combinations and destiny. The solution aims at changing our perception towards death through vivid tangram expressions and creating ambience environment for mourners.
“私のお墓の前で 泣かないでください そこに私はいません 眠ってなんかいません 千の風に 千の風になって あの大きな空を” 吹きわたっています” “Don't stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, Don't stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I did not die.”
