| dc.description.abstract | This thesis explores the manner in which architecture can more sympathetically respond to people in a time of loss and grievance. Through adaptively repurposing a historic structure in Minneapolis, MN, a crematory and funeral home
can show an alternative to the current deathcare industry. This
alternative is more environmentally sustainable by providing alternatives to harmful cremation and embalming processes,
emotionally responsive by creating spaces that encourage the
grieving process, and user-focused by providing flexible and
innovative spaces which allow for many types of ceremonies. | en_US |
