Project idea

More than architecture. Personal scope. Loss of a beloved person who has left this world.

Project description

Abstraction of archetypal shape. Creation of a permanent link. Place of memories and meditation. Black and white view of the world - joyful moments versus a sense of hopelessness from losing a close person. View into the distance. Awareness of transience.

Technical information

Two steel frames complemented with a wooden frame carry a two-color cover made of planks. Outdoor layer of tanned planks, interior planks in natural form.
