The ‘Columbarium – The Chamber of Memories’ competition is a collaboration with Riga City Council Housing and Environment Department in Latvia. Participants are invited to submit designs for a columbarium planned for the Forest Cemetery. They will need to design a columbarium that can house 500 niches, each of which can hold one to four urns.
How can landscape design help in the grieving process?
What would make it a respectable place of solace?
Where loved ones can visit those that have passed on?
Based on research on Latvian Culture, this project has created a comprehensive landscape design solution for the entire cemetery. And the understanding of life and death was conveyed through the landscape.
