Crossroads of Life

THE COLUMBARIUM OF THE FOREST CEMETERY ON ŠIBERNÝ HILL IN ŘEVNICE. The columbarium is located northeast of the existing cemetery around the tree group and a cross - the focal point of the design. 4 arms extend symmetrically from the centre, each containing the elements of either fire, water, wind or earth at the end. The columbarium can be approached from three directions, from Řevnice (from the north-east) up the hill, along the restored path (running along the cemetery to the west) and the existing path around the cemetery which comes down from the mortuary. The design of the columbarium contains a total of 96 urn boxes, which are designed modularly, alternating with an ornamental transparent module that visually links the woodland and columbarium environments.
