3	On Ornament: A Catholic Cemetery for Philadelphia Dunlevy, Shane Conlan 20 July 2011 (has links) The practice of architecture exists because man has sought shelter from the forces of the world he finds himself. It is wonder of this same world that has caused him to shape his rooms from age to age. In every instance, he recreates the world within the world with the materials of that world. It is the marks, the cuts, the juxtaposition, and the joining of these materials in which ornament dwells. It is present wherever man has shaped material for construction. It is a whisper when homogenized, and it is a trumpet blast when varied. This thesis will delve into the making of ornament, and my love for it. My first cognizant encounter with architecture, was my fascination with the sculpted stones of the gothic cathedrals. It was the ornament that caused me to be fascinated and to remember. So for this thesis, I sought to imagine walls worth remembering. I wanted to touch every material with my mind's eye so that it might be a gift for others. I wanted to ornate. It seemed best for the design to be sacred and to be in an urban setting. I also thought that the presence of time and aging might help the thesis. I came to choose the program of a catholic cemetery in Philadelphia. I hoped to explore what meaningful marks and arrangements of materials I could impart to this ephemeral world. / Master of Architecture procession imagination material cemetery catholic chapel columbarium ornament mausoleum Architecture
4	A Descending Columbarium Jiang, Xuyang 30 September 2014 (has links) The project is a columbarium and crematorium complex. It is located on the Eastern peripherie of Blacksburg, Virginia. The site slopes downward to the South East. The project is organized in an axial arrangement following the direction of the slope. The program of the building does not follow any religious ritual and is culturally determined only in so far as cremation is an acceptable form of disposal of the deceased. In this sense the building itself becomes a memorial of the dead. With the exclusion of formal ritual as a guiding principle for an architectural expression of the contemplation of death simple geometric figures are meant to evoke a general sense of proper emotional and intellectual response to the phenomenon of death, perhaps to dying. This approach hopes to allow for individual contemplation of the ending and the end of human life. / Master of Architecture columbarium death proportion symmetry LD5655.V855 2014.J536
5	The Presence of The Absent Shayanfar, Azar 04 February 2015 (has links) Life is a series of illusions; everyone creates their own life with their personal mindset. We all have our own story. My thesis is part of my story. It was influenced by my life, my illusions, my fears, and my beliefs. This project is dedicated to my brother, whom I lost five years ago. This hardship made me reflect on my passion and my fear: architecture and death. The perspective I gained from studying different cultures and their beliefs about the after life was critical for my project and enlightening on a personal level. For some, death was the end of everything, for others it was just the beginning. Some would grieve and some would take the time to cherish and celebrate death. The synthesis between the knowledge I gained studying these beliefs and that of those I held personally gave rise to this project. Throughout the process the body of the building changed often, but its main structure and soul remained consistent. The essential details of this project were driven from translating the rituals and beliefs of varying cultures regarding mourning and burial into an architectural language. The building consists of a cemetery, columbarium, crematorium, chapel, as well as different spaces for praying and remembering loved ones.The site is located in Old Town, Alexandria. What makes this building different from the others is its emphasis on dead bodies. The more dead bodies enter the building, the more alive the building will become. / Master of Architecture Cemetery Columbarium Chapel Memory Death Earth Fire Water Air
6	Dům - kronika / A House – A Chronicle Volf, Anna January 2015 (has links) Diploma project “Chronicle House” is representing the creation of fictional historiographical interpretation of “the spirit of the place”. Rotunda is the columbarium The existence of object inside of the object, in this context, automatically creates a feeling of layeringness. The columbarium is oval shaped and the base level all the way by the perimeter consists of old windows from the panel houses, which were going through the process of modernization, particularly – change of windows. It serves now as a commemoration space. On the inside of the rotunda has been placed a museum of the ceased houses, where in the columbarium niches are placed models of these houses with the dates of birth and death, as well as with short epiphanies.
7	On Augmenting Architecture Myers, Ryan Michael 21 January 2022 (has links) The thesis was originally meant to be an investigation into the necessity of architectural ornamentation. Throughout the exploration however, it became evident that architectural ornamentation was not all that was being studied. Instead, a broader term was needed in order to define the study. Instead of simply ornamenting architecture, the thesis is a study on augmenting architecture; more precisely, a study of the several elemental ways through which architectural experience can most effectively be augmented to foster aesthetic expression and heighten general architectural experience. The thesis deals with five of these fundamental elements; phenomenology, craft, contrast, complexity, and representation. The project that has been developed with these ideas in mind is an ancestral columbarium and the path that leads visitors to it. It is sited in a theoretical Virginian landscape that was designed simultaneously with the architecture, in order to present the architectural ideas with greater clarity and precision. The columbarium and path are a part of a larger family residence that includes an ancestral home, but for the sake of time the home was not designed. Instead, the relevant ideas are expressed through the path to the ancestral columbarium and the columbarium itself. / Master of Architecture phenomenology material craft complexity contrast balance representation nature ornamentation path procession courtyard stair bridge columbarium

Ferčík, Richard January 2018 (has links) 10 Abstract The Development of Funeral Practices in the Context of the Evolution of Ideological framework of the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church. Author: Mgr. Richard Ferčík Our work resulted in finding that since the very beginning of its existence, the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church approached the question of funeral rituals as a practical, pastoral question, not academic and theoretical. The Czechoslovak Church became a pioneer and promoter of cremation and operator of the most extensive network of columbaries in Czechoslovakia. The major moment of Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church particulars was the shift from the mechanical-magical concept of funeral in popular Catholicism, by which it tried to confront with a purified and understandable ritual based on the gospel and the desire to enculturate the gospel and translate it into a "live" language. Judging by the theological view of death and funeral, the basis from which it stemmed is quite clear - catholic modernism and liberal democratic thinking. In the first generation of Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church theologians we could observe significant "scholastic" fundament. Theological consideration was never priority in these matters, but the church only dealt with it when solving complex tasks. It was not until the middle of 1940s, when the Copernical Revolution...

Idag flyttar fler och fler in till storstäderna, och man lämnar ofta släkten kvar på hemorten. Det nya livet i storstaden byggs upp runt arbete och de nära relationer till vänner man får, och inte uppbyggda på släktskap. Som storstadsbo kanske man inte identifierar sig med ”hela” Stockholm, det som innefattar de främmande förorterna, där inga anhöriga eventuellt kunnat bo, utan mer med staden ”som sådan”. Om man då mitt i livet avlider – skulle lösningen vara att skickas till födelseorten för en jordfästning? I mitt fall finns ingen familj kvar där, föräldrarna är döda och syskonen är spridda över landet. Det känns märkligt och tomt att veta att man hamnar på en plats som sällan skulle bli besökt, och som de flesta av mina vänner inte alls känner till. Så kom jag att fundera över begravningsplats – en urban och nydanande sådan – i detta fall i Stockholm - en som inte måste ligga på Sergels torg precis, men som kunde vara så pass central att det inte skulle kännas främmande eller långt bort. Så tog min idé form. Den kunde appliceras som ”Djurens urbana minneslund” också – Välj själva! I detta arbete har jag dock valt att fokusera på mänskligheten. Kerstin Persson, Norrmälarstrand, Stockholm / As the ember has gone out An urban burial ground in peaceful nature Where will they bury me? Today more nd more people move into the big cities, leaving relatives behind. The new life becomes different and connects to work and the new relations one makes here, not connected to family bounds. As a big-city dweller one may not identify with the “whole of the city”, as one has no relatives living in that or that area, but with the City itself. Then, if one in the middle of walk of life unexpectedly passes away – would the solution be to be sent back to one´s birthplace to be bried? Well, in my case there are no family left there as mother and father have passed away and sister and brother lives at different places in our country. It feels remarkably and empty to be put at a place where people seldom or never would come to, as most of my friends don´t even really know where it is. Here I came to think of forming some kind of cemetery that also would fill “My needs”, a one – kind of urban but in the peaceful nature – fitting many peoples – of today´s need – in the city of Stockholm. This idea could also very well fit into the idea of an urban cemetery for animals. Here I have focused on the idea for humans though. Choose Yourself!
