Article source: ZA Architects Philosophy Overall composition is geometric grid imposed in on the plot. In places where it is necessary it generates a pavement of square concrete tiles, throughout which low grass is growing. On places of burial mesh forms a major compositional element – concrete vertical bars with silhouette and proportions look like silent humans crowd. Despite the visual feeling of accessibility it is impossible to walk between bars because on the external circuit they are placed rather tightly. Other objects – pavilion, memorial plaques etc. are also made in modular grid. It is assumed that other burial places will be designed with same approach, because it is flexible for any kind of relief, locations of the trees, buildings and geometric shapes of the plots. In this particular project Bakhiv plot is designed.  Image Courtesy ZA Architects

Memorial plaques and pavilion are also made of concrete. It is expected that this simple set of elements can be produced directly on a building site, in specially organized mini-manufacture line. High qualification of the workers on this line is not required.
