The brief
The project is designed around the Jewish burial process which largely focuses on an Easterly orientation, the direction of Jerusalem. The Jewish burial is defined by a processional route of seven stages, during which mourners stop seven times to pray. Hence, Greg has aimed to create an intuitive journey in which mourners move through a series of seven pavilions which encourage reflection and contemplation.
The project includes a self-sufficient willow coffin construction facility using a series of soaking pools which allow the deceased to return to the earth as quickly as possible (Jewish burial tenant) whilst increasing environmentally sustainability.
