Balancing forward-thinking approaches of a columbarium space with nature •
The columbarium landscape in Singapore mirrors the shifts in generational views, urbanisation and technology. Modern designs prioritise efficiency and space configuration but often neglect spiritual and community aspects. RETURN TO EARTH proposes an urban columbarium blending modern trends with green design, sensory experiences, and spiritual connection. It aims to revive community spirit, offer diverse ash scattering methods and provide a space for meaningful grieving and reconnection with nature amid the dwindling traditional cemetery options.
