This project is a proposal for a funeral competition by Paris City facing a chronic shortage of crematoriums. A shell-like concrete structure was proposed for the prevention of severe noise problem caused by the périphérique (ring road) on the north side of the site. The garden creates a silence for visitors to gradually approach to a sacred space with spiritual purification. The four ceremony rooms have their own separate entrances facing to the garden, enabling each family to participate the ceremony without being interfered by other groups. The concrete shell is cast with a traditional wooden formwork; the frame remains as a main structure of the building, creating warmth and order in the space. Bricks are piled one by one on the concrete shell by man’s hands, symbolizing the daily accumulation of life.
