A place of Farewell,
‘Making the moment visible and present’; an architecture of proximity, distance and procession; a setting for lamentation and immanence.

The project aims to provide a new local place of Farewell for the residents of Lewes, U.K. Located at Southdown Lewes alongside river Ouse, the project  develops an extended journey of farewell directly connected to nature, exposed to weather conditions and driven by light. A multi-faith experience is aimed to be achieved and hence none of the spaces provided, including the chapel, are correlated to any particular religion.The project also provides a Final Destination for the deceased with facilities for body disposal.

This project is a rethinking of first term’s project, The Memorial Gardens of Lewes,  towards a more useful cohesive proposal.
