Architecture for the Departed: A Spatial Farewell to Loved Ones Architectures at the end of life are meant to say goodbye to life and memories. Funeral homes, crematoriums, cemeteries, and other funeral facilities, as well as memorials spaces, are architectural symbols of life’s end. Through these tangible and visible entities, people can reminisce and remember their loved ones, finding peace and hope. This book features 22 cases showing symbolic architecture with commemorative significance. It introduces how great architects incorporate their interpretations and reflections on life in the process of “creation,” allowing “new beginnings” and “departures” to coexist, a sense of humanistic care within the architectures.
