growth of the Columbarium

  1. Big rectangles are the repulsion point. it can be a hill, a small park, a meeting place.
  2. Small rectangles are the attractor point (centres of different religions). they are moving according to the speed of the columbarium growing.


after midterm


analysing the dimensions , materials and appearances
i found a coincidence or rule of the hights . each arch is higher than the other by doubling it's own hight and adding 10 meters more.. so i got to the 230 m hight of the next arch


by looking into the proportion of the arches and their holes.. i got to the idea of making more holes in the new arch
here are some shapes that i analyzed and by combining the information that i had i got to the idea of having the prismatic shape that is common in all the existing arches . then .. by looking back into the holes idea i was thinking to reverse the hole with the built part of the arch and by this getting a lighter building but still keeping the idea of arch. so i created this cells that are actually fixed in a network . the cells are spaces of the building and the thicknesses of the cell branches express also different functions..( as elevators, stairs, or just simple waterpipes)
on the upper part it will be like a viewing platform

still in process
