Country	Singapore

Award	WINNER
Affiliation	National University of SIngapore
Designer	JoelRasis
English	The project is deviating from hidden volumes and changing its natural state by projecting memory through the use of architecture. It introduces a different typology of raising the dead skywards and the creation of a new realm which occupies the core of the building. Materiality is key which relates back to memory and meditation of life and death, where carefully picked stones from the Himalayas are used to transcend the realm experience to a whole new level. A series of meditative scriptures and prayers are also sensitively inscribed into the walls of the core.
