Oppositions: A Final Resting Place Part 1 Project 2019 Edward Turner University of Liverpool | UK Oppositions is an exploration in to how the modern city might sensitively represent and provide ritual for the lost ones of its diverse and ever dense population. Over time, these types of places have lost presence, pushed to the fringes of the city but what little still exist often lies hidden and concealed. Could the introduction of a crematorium sensitive and emotive yet capable of providing for its numbers evoke the celebration of death, eventually providing the collective memory of the place and its people passed? Oppositions is a Crematorium and a Columbarium for Liverpool. In its isolated location the building forms new pieces of the city. The crematorium appears as a new ruin of architectural fragments, each fragment holding a specific event that can be adapted by the temporary inhabitants to form part of their cremation ceremony. The building in its fragmented or ruined state represents lasting memories we hold of a person once they have passed. A third monument in the Liverpool skyline, after the two cathedrals, where through cremation, an architecture of permanence can allow all to be embedded in their city forever. Edward Turner Tutor(s)
