A crematory and a ceremonycenter

The landscape on the site is formed by a forest zone and a hilly landscape. The crematorium itself is placed as a sunken building in the range of hills. Hereby the opportunity arises to complete missing parts in the surrounding forest. The ceremony exists of a trajectory that follows the folding of the landscape. The auditorium building forms a tangible object in the centre of the sunken patio and colonnade. The reception, the administration and the crematorium are reached through the colonnade. A second patio encloses the columbarium, where the urns are placed in the wall. This second patio connects the complex to the trajectory that leads to the open landscape.
