a2o to lecture about ‘Crematorium Lommel, a Primordial Landscape’ at UEL School of Architecture, London
As in contemporary society an ubiquitous culture of burial is lacking, a2o will present its research towards the potential of landscape as an alternative to religious symbolism and tangible spaces.
The proposed landscape consists of an untouched "primordial landscape", a restoration project in which the indigenous environment is brought back.
Not the tangible and built spaces, but the presence of nature aspires an intangible expression of contemplation, simultaneously being universally recognizable as delivering unique and eternal identities.
