Collective Movement
this project is based on the immigration to the cemetery. the site is working diagonal and natural movement of the people. it is a reflection of the path without restriction that the immigrants took. the history center in located in the middle of the diagonal movement. people going to the cemetery will only get a glance of the building through the large windows so they will be tempted to visit. a cemetery without graves is nothing. to represent the importance of those who are buried there the grave area is above the path.

the reflection space is for people to go and have a moment of peace. the roof is 1 foot from the walls to let light come in. there are columns inside the building but only 7 of them are supporting the roof. most of them are 5 or 6 feet in order to create a feeling of presence. the rest are less than 2 feet to be used as seating.
