Description Thesis: Innovating and Respecting Filipino Spaces for Those Who Lay to Rest: Vertical Hybrid Cemetery and Memorial Park Complex

"Body - Spirit - Heaven"

The concept tells the journey of the soul from its deceased body towards the heavens above. Architecturally, it also translates on how the building mass describes each section;

  • the body resembles the bulk or the “earthly experience”
  • The spirit resembles the parabolic tower ascending towards to the heavens above
  • The heaven resembles the final destination and goal of the soul: eternal paradise

The evolution of forms are sculpted in relation to the accommodation of sun and wind to the building such as indented forms and floor-to floor openings in relative to the sun’s path and curved building forms to avoid turbulence
