Full textPå norra begravningsplatsen tillkommer nu ett krematorium som skall vara en byggnad som gifter sig väl med landskapet, med generösa arbetsytor ochvälkomnande anhörigdel. Tanken är att krematoriet skall vara lika mycket en industri som en plats för anhöriga att ta avsked på. Det centrala gestaltningsgreppet har varit att utforma en väl fungerande arbetsplats med effektiva lösningar i logistik och teknik men också att klyva byggnaden med cortendetaljer för att leda in de anhöriga. En liknelse till vad vi egentligen är ute efter som anhöriga. Att pausa en flödesriktning av dagligt arbete och kistväg för att ge de anhöriga ett sista avskedsmoment innan kistan rullar vidare in till ugnshall. Viktigt är också att skärpa sinnet för de anhöriga under avskedet. Att förstärka det faktiska avskedet. Genom en rumsekvens av slutande därefter mörker och koncentrerat ljus med en väl inkomponerad stenläggning för att därefter gå tillbaka genom en uppluckrande utsikt leds de anhöriga igenom och tillbaka i byggnaden.

Full textAbstract Cremation of the dead is increasing and there is a huge need for another crematorium in the Stockholm area. The concept and idea of the project proceeds from the idea that life is variably and that life of each human being is different and unique. The hypothesis for the project is a crematorium divided into three parts with separate entrances: one for the relatives, one for the staff and one for the undertakers. A crematorium, with merged volumes and various heights and materials that contrast, the eternal, the inconstant. The exterior consists of five buildings attached to each other, with a variety of heights. The trimming is made of load-bearing concrete with sections of windows, breaking up the compact impression of the concrete, creating views and insights and permits daylight into the crematorium. Two of the buildings have coppertrimming. A solemn and ceremonial feeling, without religious connection, has been the basic idea and theme for all parts of the crematorium.

Full textThis project is focusing on creating a new crematorium at the Northern Cemetery in Stockholm. A crematorium is a complex building where both the handling of coffins and urns, personell areas and areas for relatives have to intervine, without competing with each other. This project has involved analyzing the flow and spaces necessary and using this to make spatial units that create an atmosphere of contemplation and silence. It has been important to work with both the interior and the exterior rooms of the buildning, the walk through the cemetery towards the building is just as important as the space where relatives and staff meet. During the process of the project I have been working with folding walls in a landscape of birch trees to come up with this specific design of the building. The slender trunks of the birch trees and the buildings simple concrete walls of various heights is creating a landscape of direction, something the site previously lacked. The building material is a white concrete and wich on selected walls are perforated to create a play of light in the rooms.

Full textThis project contains a proposal for a new crematorium on the north cemetary (Norra begravningsplatsen) north of Stockholm city in Solna. Its purpose is to encurage to debate and enducate the public in what function a crematorium has in the society with a complete insight in the cremation process from the pedestrian and bicycle path that stretches along the cemetarys fence today. With the standpoint that this more and more secular society has a increasing distance to death and no authority or state religion that brings up the topic, the new crematorium also has a new function. Common for our crematories today is a configuration that tries to achieve a discrete spirituality with no clear connection to any religion. From my point of view that results in a ordinary monumentality and even greater distance between the most natural thats is, life and death. Here is the whole process shown, from the hurse´s unloading, storage of coffins in cold rooms, the incineration, to handling of the ashes and urns. With a considerably more monumental face towards the cemetary, the relatives will keep the dignity thats still is demanded in great extent which also gives the building a duality that interacts with eachother in a different expression.

Full textThe structural principle of the crematory is based on two walls. The first creates a new border to the northern cementary. The second wall leads the visitor down the hill and in through the crematory. The actual border of the cementary is at the projects site not as well taken cared of as on the rest of the cementary, and a will to give not only the crematory but also the surroundings good qualities has been one of the most important parameters during the project. The crematory and its walls gives the site clarity and simplicity for the relatives, the employees and also for bypassers. On the hill at the starting point of the wall, a new entrance to the cementary is created. The crematory is partly situated under the pedestrian/bicycle path ranging along the cementarys western border. To prevent the crematory from turning its back on the existent destrian/bicycle path, that very path is given a new route on the rooftop of the crematory complex. In this way, the crematory naturaly integrates itself in the surrounding landscape and saves alot of space for the surrounding park. The walls have a granite facade, on the upper wall with a rough surface intended to blend into nature and on the lower wall with a polished surface to connect it to the crematory building rather than the landscape. Beeing exposed in every room intended to be visited by relatives to the deceased, this lower wall is a way for them to orient themselves during their visit. As a visitor you follow the wall from the cementary entrance, going south down a sligt hill the wall is getting higher as you move towards the main entrance to the crematory, which is a volume protruding from the lower wall. The spaces intended for the relatives are located close to the main entrance, and the most important of those rooms is the room where the relatives collect the urn. In that rectangular room, which has an exterior and an interior space closely connected, you are surrounded by the lower wall on all sides. The exterior space a tree stands surrounded by a pond, whose reflections and shadows give life to the materials. To create a good environment for the employees, the rooms have been organized to fit the crematory process, from the recievement of the chest to handing over the urn. Paus- and officespaces are located in the south part of the building, closley connected to the chest recievement room. The connections between the crematorys different rooms are intended to create spontaneus meetings between the employees, and also with the visiting funeral directors.

Full textWe tend to believe that time moves forward. Our perception of time is easily misunderstood as the reality itself. It is helpful to remember that throughout history one have perceived time in quite many different ways. Thus there has been varies of ways of measuring time. Until the late Middle Ages, people experienced time as a constant flow. Consequently time was measured by imitating this constant flow, for example by a stream of sand, as is the case with the hourglass. With these methods one could never measure a longer period of time. It was not until the conception of time changed and time was perceived as sequences of units and periods that it was possible to measure time for longer periods, with the invention of the mechanical clock. Time was once perceived as circular and controlled by nature; today it has become something mechanical, linear and rather abstract.

Full textThe task was to create a crematorium at Norra Begravningsplatsen, Solna. The building itself is very much an industry, but there is also a big need to design suitable rooms for visitors and the staff working so close to death everyday. I have focused on the visits of relatives, and their walk to the crematorium to receive the urn with the ashes or attend during the cremation. The project is site specific as I have worked with 5 existing weeping willows. I choose to make an alley, between the trees and the crematorium, which I call the Memory Lane. The living trees are reflected in the concrete facade, as a negative, a shadow. The negative of the trees are a symbol of death, death is a shadow of life, and wouldn't exist without it. And although someone passed away, there lives have made an impact on our, just like an imprint on our heart. The walk along the Memory Lane is a grieving path, a produced walk. I have also worked with nature and light as tools for creating rooms that can be a comfort in times of grief.

Full textThe cremation process is both industrial and emotional. Thus, a crematorium must facilitate one primary course of events while also handling – filtering – secondary emotional stress generated by that very activity. But should the building as filter be a solid wall or a light veil between the dead and the living? How does one define an appropriate degree of permeability and transparency? And how do you cater to the well-being of both mourners and professionals? The architecture of crematoria has, since its introduction in the mid 19th century, evolved along with society's increasing individualism, specialization and secularization. Exploring aesthetic expressions and styles from classicism and national romanticism to brutalism, the intentions have been, in various degrees and combinations, ideological, symbolic, theatrical, functional and pragmatic. However, some features seem to be predominant. Strict geometry, material heaviness, dramatic lighting and the use of nature as a work of art are some examples, as well as processional, choreographed spatial movement and mystification of the cremation itself. These features are not only striking, atmospheric and beautiful; they are also represent power and distinction. The rooms constitute a didactic system of codes and values, silently mediated through physical elements. Irrespective of the architect's ambition and intentions – rhetorical monumentality or suggestive modesty – the spaces seem to evoke feelings of awe and wonder. Firm and unyielding, the buildings dodge any critical questioning. Given today's multitude of coexisting and continually developing philosophies of life and death, a modern crematorium should not pretend to be true, permanent or eternal. The only truth is that in death all men are equal, no matter the circumstances of our passing. This project therefore explores a non-authoritative architecture that does not reproduce spatial or aesthetical norms and conventions. An architecture that does not dictate certain moods or behaviours; that celebrates the extraordinary while attending to everyday life; that conveys dignity and stability without being imposing.

Full textA crematory is an ambigous structure: in part a functional facility where corpses are processed but also a building that require emotion and ritual to keep the crematory from becoming a death factory. In many cultures rites of passage are based on a common belief of what happens after death but these collective beliefs are scarce in today's post-modern society. One of the main questions in the project is how architecture can create meaningful space without inventing its own arbitrary rituals or compromising the building's functionality. Spaces of Passage is a crematory project that aims to create ritual through spatial sequences. The symbolic acts of the ritual are translated into physical places. Hierachically organised space with specific character enhance and foreshadow each step of the cremation process without sacrificing effectivness. The hypothesis is that the cremation process can be become a spatial ritual - a ritual created from form and relations. Every coffin that is transported towards the owen will pass through architectural moments, which convey a sense of dignity for the deceased, comfort for the bereaved and a a reminder that the work done at the crematory is of outmost importance. The resulting architecture is a crematory with functional spatial sequences where industrial spaces have aestetic qualities. Without studying how people interact with the actual building it is hard to evaluate if the spatial sequences have gained ritual value but the proposed crematory is indeed a clear attempt at creating emotional significance in an industrial process.

Full textIn the beginning of “My Struggle” Knausgård writes that the idea of transporting a dead body upwards is against nature. This was my starting point. This crematorium is about a movement upwards, for the dead but also for the living man. The crematorium is traditionally a low and heavy building which has a practical explanation, but I would also like to claim that it is related to our view of death. Our strong tradition of earth burial has affected the design of the cremation, for example Catafalk lifts, and the fact is that the majority is still burying their urns. There is thus a strong connection to earth, as the classic Bible quote consolidates. But today, when you are no longer born into the swedish church, when 90% of Sweden's population is cremated and there is a constant increase in secular funerals, isn’t time for a new approach? A coffin is cremated and what remains is ash. Ash is light and spread with the wind. I have chosen to explore this connection to air, wind and height, while trying to keep the building's weight and solemnity.

Full textSeparation This project follows a theme of separation, separation of functions, fysical separation and separation of people. A Chrematory is in its nature in a constant state of conflict, very different and complicated functions forced together into the same building, functions wich are trying to move in away from each other, trying to separate. There are basically three different parts of the chrematory, the industrial side, the part for the family an friends of the diseaced and the parts for the employes. All with verya specific demands and different atmospheres. I Wanted to enhance this state of separation between the functions but still keep them in the same building and i came up with a strategi to make that possible. I was going to use a distorted grid system to let the separation show in the built form. The project became a study of grids, how you can distort them in diferent ways and how you can use them to create different atmospheres and interesting forms. But also a study of how to make strict rules for yourself, how to keep them, and work with the difficulties you face when you have these rules to follow. And last but not least how to learn how to break your own rules when they have to be broken.

Full textThe crematorium means transition through its main purpose, the transformation from a body to ashes. I’ve set out to use architecture to shape the building and the surrounding landscape as a passage from on state to another, in order to merge the fragmentary state of the site as well as the building’s program. A strive to meet the specific needs of the building while the passage can take form through the building. Rational consideration has deciphered the result in the attempt to tie together parameters such as life, death, inside, outside, city, cemetery, the trivial and the tragedy.

Full textSYMMETRY: When someone has passed away relatives often experience confusion and doubt. In this, I want to work with symmetry in order to let the physical environment instill confidence. When an individual experiences that life lacks logic they find support in the apparent logic of mirror symmetry. WEIGHT: By alluding to monumental architecture, I want to allow the bereaved a pause from the decision-making of a funeral and give them the opportunity to experience their smallness and thus be able to continue their lives. In earlier times people in Sweden found support in the Church and the established rituals around death and I think these rites helped by reducing the individual's own responsibility. I want the crematorium to provide ease by suggesting a gravity that allows the bereaved the opportunity to lean on an unspoken belief. TRANSPARENCY: Only a small part of today's crematoria are transparent. As a relative, this can provide a sense of uncertainty and worry about what happens in the rest of the building. By working with transparency I want to give the bereaved the peace of feeling confidence in the process.

Full textThe presence of death increases the value of life itself. In a society that hides away the end of life a crematory has a purpose to remind and reveal it to whoever wants to interact. The program of this building transforms into nuances at a scale from knowledge to witnessing. This crematory takes a prominent place at the cemetery and in the community. For those who are already in the mourning process, nature has a universal, comforting value. Vegetation intrudes into and reminds us of a time when life starts over. The building is scattered to become a landscape in itself. In the gaps nature grows. From outside the building’s significant parts can be distinguished: Furnace hall, cold store and the five courtyards of the building. Sight lines have been very important in the project. Internal to feel a closeness to nature and external to make passers-by understand the typology’s main processes; The arrival of the coffin, its journey from the cold storage to the oven and finally the ash’s way to a dignified storage for the urn until it has a permanent place.

Full textA crematory, a machinery, where the dead body is burnt into ashes, scraped out and taken to a room where pieces of bones that are not funny burnt milled, screws that onced healed picked out. What once was our bodies are now being held down like powder in small urns. An everyday work for some, ceremonially for another, the nastiest of process for the third and a fourth who could not care less. When someone close to us pass away, we react. It can take expression in different ways and at different times. The project's most important aspect consists of allowing the visitor to take part of the building in stages, with different interests at different times. A frightened relative, a stressed daughter or a large company. As important as it is to respond to families, it is to relate to its context. The location Norra Begravningsplatsen in Solna is central. It is located just outside Stockholm and used daily as a passage. Because of the building's special character, the context is extremely important, and in my project I have equally worked with everyday all around as the people in the building. Crematorium encounter everyday.

Full textThis is a bachelor degree project where I'm proposing a new crematorium on Norra begravningsplatsen in Stockholm. My bachelor degree project is about processes. The process of finding a workable plan to a crematorium. The process of finding the form based on the program. I have tried to find perception of all the rooms and then create the rooms. The process of creating a building is to me the most interesting part of the architecture. To create in order to understand what is created and not to pause in the process. Part of that process is to make choices, and although some choices are difficult to explain in hindsight, I think it is an important part of the profession to understand that it is through these selections experience is created. The most difficult process has been the design. In my project I have worked with some classical elements to understand how the use of these can feel pasted or genuine. I hope it is perceived as the latter.

Full textThis project investigates how to approach the occupation that takes care of the deceased, to near and to border on the industry without intruding. It’s an attempt to disclose gradually, neither by intimidating anyone nor by harmonizing the reality. This crematorium is a linear building that has a beginning and an end. It is a sculptured construction with a logistical flow and rhythmic structure. Norra Begravningsplatsen in Solna is a dual place where the contrast between industry, housing, grief, work and peace meet. The centerpiece of this meeting takes place on the lot where the crematorium is placed. The experience of the place as bicameral, neglected and concealed, despite all the different activities it touches, initiated the design where the desire was to create a building with a direction. Nevertheless the place and the program deal with contrasts. It is about the contrasting relation between someone's everyday life and another’s grief. It is the encounter between the living and the dead. The building stands both symbolically and physically the boundary between industry and cemetery. It becomes a transition and it becomes a flow in a shape of architecture. In the context of the site, the building makes it self apparently visible where its volume reaches out and takes place on a broad area of the given lot. There is a possibility to look in to the building and observe the process if wanted and there are plenty of places around the building where one can rest, take cover for the rain or just lean against a comforting wall. The building has several openings and ways to pass through its components, where the divided structure as a whole distracts the mind of a passing. This project is an attempt to defuse the tension that the building has in the society of today. It strives to be a modern industry, a dignified place to work, a building of weight with an aim of supporting the bereaved that surrounds it. The inevitable has taken physical form in the building; it has not been embedded and covered - it takes place straight on the spot. It is a broken design for a broken soul, a borderland between the living and that, which has passed to the other side, past the line.

Full textCrematorium at the Northern Cemetery in Stockholm. A project focused on aesthetics and, after closer studies of Dom Hans van der Laan's architecture and writings, in a direction mainly towards proportional theory. What can this forgotten and so important function in Architecture teach us today? An attempt to approach and understand the role of tradition and history today in an overall eclectic era and connect to the ongoing discourse about the importance of continuity. The meeting between the new technical and rational solutions and conventions will be interesting for the discussion of a building whose contents are struggling with this encounter. On one hand, this factory, a child of the early process of modernisation, which would make death clean and sanitary. On the other hand, a place of farewell, a last passage into a new state. I think there is a need to expand the program to let the building get a further feature, a sacred place to memories. Not just a final farewell or a practical and rational machinery.
