Thesis
Deadline: Scenarios for Australia’s Metropolitan Cemetery Architecture in the 21st Century
This design based research concerns the direction of cemetery architecture in Australia’s major cities– what we might do with existing ones? How we might shape new ones? What does memorialization look like for now and where might it be headed? Particularly as pressures mount on immense cemetery space shortages and land intensive burial practice across many of Australia’s major city centres and technological development inversely creates new avenues of memorialisation, the fundamental research question fundamentally becomes: How might emerging rituals and technologies concerning death be used to construct more durable design solutions for metropolitan cemetery architecture in Australia?
