The sky thus framed opens the mind to the reign of the invisible, allowing sight and thought to abandon Mother Earth’s gravity and acquire a more aerial and spiritual dimension.

From the architect. The enlargement of the Gubbio cemetery is the result of studies of a new model of public building. On the one hand, it has developed the latest phase of growth of the monumental cemetery in Gubbio, one of Italy’s most important medieval cities. On the other hand, it intends to redefine its meaning and centrality within the structure of the city.







The plan is in an urban structure consisting of linear stereometric blocks arranged in such a way as to reflect the rural layouts that characterize the surrounding landscape and the historic city. 

How to use lake

In our site,we have a big advantage--close a lake.I want use this advantage,so I research some case study floating on the lake or water.

 I quite like this house.
 The brighter end of the forest pond house, with its single source of ligt and bench looking onto the water, offers focaus and a place for reflection.

People die and they are not happy--architecture can not change that.

Aplace of rest, a space for silence, it still manages to provide.

 Area:9339 sqm

 This structure glorifies the quintessence of architecture. Then this space glorifies the quintessence of architecture, celebrates spaces, the silence of walls in light.

different memorial ways

 I wanted use different ways to memorial people.

                               Floris memorial plaques
Flower or military badge, or small vase to contain a single flower.

                                     Memorial vault

                                Octagonal memorial planter
The planter has memorial plaques on each of its sides and there are flower holders at the base for floral tributes.
