YG Memorial Park . Crystal Garden

In the current social context of the epidemic, it’s become a primary challenge in the process of cemetery design on how to assume social responsibility for public welfare, how to express essential care for vulnerable groups, and how to reflect the equal life value among the entire people.

The government has been making unceasing efforts to advocate the product concept of ecological land-based conservation, and how to stay congruent with the cutting-edge policy trends in the new cemetery design has turned into another challenge for this design.

Conventional cemeteries attach too much importance to the functionalism of the landscape, and people’s unremitting pursuit of a better homeland urgently requires the reform and innovation of the concept of cemeteries.

In the park, the concept of “thematic identity, benchmark of public welfare”, along with professional thematic burial area is under consideration respectively in the process of the designing. On the basis of the perspective of ecological land-based conservation, the tombstones are miniaturized and artistic, and the concept of employing crystals is embodied in the products, rendering the entire cemetery senses of green, serenity and peacefulness.

The layout structure of the park is “one path and five gardens”, one leading path that connects five gardens, and the kernel of the gardens stays conjoint.

The public landscape area of the whole park creates a “Bingqing Yushi” path as a link. The crystal as the initial part of the design, extracting the crystal manufacturing process, which is embodied in the landscape, nirvana quartz is like the precipitated clear jade, and the charm lies in the integration, rebirth and awakening of the internal development, from the perspective of the experiencer, to seek people’s spiritual conception of life and cultural space.

The landscape and product culture elements of each thematic garden are unified, and the language symbols of “star, leaf, heart, bamboo, lotus and cloud” are distilled respectively, particularizing the connotation of the gardens through natural features.
