The dead do not bury themselves
We showcase four funerary facilities that strive to bridge the gap with local communities in various ways. We present four projects that not only fulfill the functional requirements of funerary architecture but also emphasize the importance of treating the deceased with dignity and providing solace to the living. These projects offer a space to honor the departed while reassuring those left behind that life can still be beautiful.
Factories that Make Place, Warehouses that Store Memory
The challenge of what to do with industrial-era buildings that have outlived their original purpose is one that many cities grapple with today. While cities no longer depend on heavy industry, these buildings still stand as reminders of the past.
While the easiest solution may be to demolish them and construct new structures, there is a growing trend towards repurposing these old buildings through extensions and renovations. This approach not only preserves their unique character and ambiance, but also minimizes unnecessary resource consumption. In this edition, we present four projects that exemplify the diverse ways in which industrial buildings can be transformed into vibrant spaces, serving as residential complexes, museums, exhibition halls, and more.
