A collection of poems that explore the imagined possible deaths of a father and ultimately the concepts of absence and lack through a contemplation of spaces like fields and cemeteries / MFA

This thesis proposes an urban infill cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. By infilling seven blocks within the arts district of downtown Memphis with a new urban cemetery, further significance is given to both the city and the cemetery. Because it would be a newly built cemetery, it could initially function as an urban park and become a cemetery over time as the space is needed to remember the dead. The same elements of the cemetery would compose the park, but by allowing a slow transformation from park to cemetery, the resulting public space will carry much more meaning than either space could do alone. The cemetery connects the continuing evolution of the city with the lives of its citizens. Each block is different yet linked and intertwined, just like Memphis residents. The blocks are multi-use and as such, share the history and legacy of those who have died with those who live in and visit the city. / Master of Architecture

Yes / This paper presents a re-evaluation of a cemetery excavated over thirty years ago at Walkington Wold in east Yorkshire. The cemetery is characterised by careless burial on diverse alignments, and by the fact that most of the skeletons did not have associated crania. The cemetery has been variously described as being the result of an early post-Roman massacre, as providing evidence for a `Celtic¿ head cult or as an Anglo-Saxon execution cemetery. In order to resolve the matter, radiocarbon dates were acquired and a re-examination of the skeletal remains was undertaken. It was confirmed that that cemetery was an Anglo-Saxon execution cemetery, the only known example from northern England, and the site is set into its wider context in the paper.

Nesse processo de expansão, os cemitérios necessitam de maior atenção, visto que estudos dessas áreas já evidenciaram indícios de contaminações no solo. Atualmente, é consenso que atividades de sepultamento são responsáveis pela contaminação do solo e aquíferos subterrâneos através da percolação do necrochorume. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as concentrações dos metais pesados cobre, cromo, zinco e chumbo no solo de três tipos de áreas presentes no cemitério: zona com sepultamento, área sem atividades cemiteriais e fragmento florestal. Para o objetivo, foram efetuadas coletas de solo através de tradagens em nove pontos e seis profundidades. Para determinação da concentração dos metais, foi utilizado espectrofotometria de absorção atômica, no Centro de Assistência Toxicológica (CEATOX), do IB/UNESP. Os valores obtidos foram comparados aos valores de referência propostos pela CONAMA nº420/2009. Com os resultados obtidos, constatou-se que nenhum dos pontos amostrados apresentou concentração acima dos valores estipulados, porém foi possível visualizar acúmulo dos metais na área onde existe atividade cemiterial e estabelecer sua relação com o fluxo superficial e sub-superficial da água. O fato de o local de estudo possuir uma área com fragmento florestal a jusante permitiu correlacionar as interações dos metais cobre e zinco em comparação com a área com sepultamentos. / Urban expansion engenders the need for environmental mitigation, in which planning the processes of land use and cover generates the need of studies to enable such actions. In that expansion process, it is imperative that more attention is paid to cemeteries, since studies in the area have already evidenced soil contamination. There is currently a consensus that burial activity is responsible for soil and aquifer contamination through cemetery leachate percolation. The purpose of the present study was to examine the concentration of four heavy metals (copper, chromium, zinc, and lead) in three different types of area found in the cemetery: the burial grounds, an area with no cemeterial activity, and a forest fragment. To achieve that objective, soil samples were collected through boreholes in nine areas and six depths. The metal concentrations were determined through atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) at the Toxicology Assistance Center (Centro de Assistência Toxicológica, or CEATOX) in the IB/UNESP campus. The values obtained were then compared to the reference values used by the National Environment Council (CONAMA) nº420/2009. The final results showed that none of the samples had concentrations higher than the established values; however, it was possible to identify a higher concentration of the metals in the burial grounds and to determine its connection to the surface and subsurface water flow. As the study environment has a forest fragment downstream, it was posible to correlate the copper and zinc interactions in comparison to the burial grounds.

The purpose of this study is to investigate which motives tourists have to visit the Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm, Sweden and which feelings the visit brought. Furthermore, the study aims to find out where the locals in Stockholm think that the acceptable limit goes for tourism at the Woodland Cemetery and what potential conflicts that may occur between the groups. The study is based on a quantitative method with web surveys as an approach. Three surveys were sent to both national and international tourists and to people living in Stockholm. The compilation and presentation of data was made in Microsoft Excel where charts were designed. The results are discussed in relation to previous research, which forms the basis of the questions in the surveys. The result shows that the main motives for tourists to visit the Woodland Cemetery are because it is a beautiful place with beautiful nature, to experience the architecture and because the place has an interesting culture and history. The feelings most tourists felt were respect, a mental calm, humility, spirituality and emotional feelings. From the locals’ perspective, some respondents feel that tourism in the cemetery is acceptable, others do not want tourism at all and some even promote tourism. However, what emerged is that many of the respondents thinks it is about the volume and how things are done. Several people said that the limit goes when there are far too many tourists and when activities and functions are not being done with consideration and respect.
