Memories are reconstructed through AI, VR, and AR, creating evolving and interactive forms of remembrance. The spatial organization separates rituals for the body from data-driven zones dedicated to memory preservation. The library represents the past through books, while the data center stores current and future digital memories.
Visitors can read, access, and experience these memories through immersive media. The project explores how technology reshapes rituals, memory, and the architecture of loss.
Design Methodology
The project examines vertical monumentality as a spatial strategy and introduces a new memorial experience that redefines traditional commemoration.
Rather than a fixed symbolic axis, the design seeks an undirected field that supports multiple readings. Early phases tested two systems, a continuous one piece form and a unit based system. Because any local shaping of the continuous form quickly assigns function and direction, the development advances with the unit based approach.
Through rotation, stacking, and calibrated variation of a single unit, the scheme produces diverse spatial sensations. The existing historic facade is retained to anchor urban memory, while the interior is reorganized into a data center, cremation hall, and civic library. ELYSIUM occupies the upper levels as an indeterminate memory field, contrasted with the coded and organized zones of the library and data center below. Vertical circulation threads these layers so that visitors pass through archival and infrastructural strata before entering the uncertain field of ELYSIUM.
