Crematorium
The plot is located at the top of the citadel of Liège, overlooking the city. This secluded area is next to the hospital, so the road is not frequently used. The location is peaceful and far from the bustle of the city.
The program consists of creating a crematorium with well-organized circulation. From arrival to completion, a sequence of stages is set in motion. An important part of the project is to separate the staff and the families. The process begins at the parking area with a wide view after the ascent. Distance and time are key elements for mental and physical progress.
The light provided by the shape of the ceiling in the ceremony hall symbolizes life, which is the heart of the crematorium. The exit acts as a condolence space, conveying a sense of support. The family has the opportunity to see the coffin being cremated before sitting for about two hours in the restaurant, which offers a view of the garden.
