ARBOUR OF HOPE

ARBOUR OF THE FOREST CEMETERY AT ŠIBERNÝ VRCH, ŘEVNICE The arbour next to the old cemetery is an contrasting element with its atypical form. The aim of the design is to free a person from the thoughts which one is bound by after the death of a beloved one and to evoke feeling of hope. Alongside the traditional cemetery, with sharp orthogonal precision, a new organic place is created, prevailing with flowing curves. Apart from the venue for outdoor ceremonies associated with burial in the woodland, it creates a place for the bereaved to reflect in peace and realise that there is no point in living with the weight of fatality and finitude. On the contrary, this space will lead them to a new approach - what matters is our unique journey through life. We are to cherish life, not fear its end.
