Ground Insertion
Johannesburg CBD
The project reactivates the underground in two ways: In an geological sense, the ground, made of decomposed live matter is already a living cemetery and therefore this project highlights this relationship by reinserting bodies into this already excavated space. On the other hand, the cemetery conceived as a social, cultural and didactic space looks urbanistically at how to enrich the city of johannesburg by extending on the vertical axis and proposing an alternative to the urban sprawl of the city.
