SHORT DESCRIPTION

The cemetery has become an important carrier connecting the emotions of the living and the dead, it’s not only a place for the dead, but a spiritual sanctuary for the living. The design of the Cloud Mirror aims to respect traditional funeral culture while transforming the design concept of traditional cemeteries. With a focus on landscaping, artistry, and personalization, it seeks to embody a harmonious, peaceful, relaxed, and warm humanistic landscape atmosphere with a strong sense of ceremony and artistry. The emotion-free warm spaces aim to provide people with physical and mental relaxation and allow the living to heal their sorrows while offering a resting place for the deceased. The goal is to achieve a symbiotic and joyful coexistence between humans and nature. The design of Cloud Mirror chooses neutral architectural language to shape the scene, and the star becomes the core image expressing architectural emotion. In this unique architectural practice, we aspire to use design to bring a touch of warm solace to the weighty topic of "death" and provide healing to those who have experienced the loss of loved ones. We hope that the cemetery can be appreciated and cherished as another form of life, giving this ancient commemorative place ecological healing, emotional functions and artistic value, reflecting the humanistic and practical value of modern cemeteries.
