Design of the cemetry in České Budějovice

The purpose of this thesis is to design a place for the last farewell and burial of loved ones in accordance with the needs of contemporary society. These can be seen in the ways in which historical cemeteries are dealing with - and expanding - these demands. The proposed park cemetery has a variety of burial and ritual sites. It is intended to serve in part as a public park, garden, or lapidarium and to serve the dead and the living equally well. Fulfilling this essence is one of the fundamental priorities of this work. The second essential point is the representation of the place, which is not meant to shock with its monumentality but, on the contrary, to be natural and decent. Just as the dead return to the earth, only a small memory remains.
