Abstract

While our cities are continuously getting denser and denser, and our methods of bodily disposal are getting more and more technical, the link between death and the landscape is radically changing. In this thesis I develop a concept for a commemoration garden that can take over part of the roles of cemeteries, while being more space efficient and adaptable to the new methods. I develop a toolbox based on design experiments and evidence-based research into healing gardens and test this toolbox on two different sites in The Hague.
