Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe importance of a cemetery is indisputable as a place to recognize death. These powerful places contain memory, emotion, and even time, but their sacred natures mean that cemeteries are often left out of daily life and instead become isolated scars in the landscape. This isolation is even more evident considering these sacred spaces have been expelled from cities. Contemporary cities are failing to acknowledge death, causing grief and memory to be internalized. For this reason, it is necessary to reintegrate grief and introduce the natural process of death as a casual and cyclical interaction within cities.
