(after)life, in tandem
Conservation and Heritage
Supervisor - Dr. Ho Puay Peng
Located within the Punggol Waterway Park, the intervention encapsulates the aspects of both life and death within the public space. It is a crematorium, a columbarium and a park, which physical boundaries are seemingly blurred, just as how life and death are no longer two separate entities, but rather, their boundaries are increasingly ambiguous with the use of visualisation technology. As the essence of Chinese rituals revolves around filial piety and the notion of exchange between the living and the dead, the space not only becomes a medium for the interaction between both worlds, it also attempts to preserve the essence of Chinese rituals through such interaction.
