Wood Fireplace
Columbarium
Columbarium at Dapingding Hsinchu City
This columbarium is composed of four independent yet precisely coordinated zones. The structure stands out due to its sloping exterior walls and terraced floors, evoking an association with the petals of a flower. In addition, this construction method provides natural lighting and ventilation. The design is deliberately simple and unadorned. Instead of noble building materials, simple elements and colours are used, lending the columbarium a natural radiance.
Statement by the Jury
This draft concept is characterised by a simple yet powerful design that does justice to the nature of a columbarium.
