Abstract
Public cemeteries, developed in the 19th century and presently closed for burials, are facing problems, such as functional singularity, aesthetic problems and disconnection with other public spaces. As a consequence, these places have become undesirable for visitors.
This research aims to explore ways to improve visitors' experience in closed cemeteries in urban areas. It will explore potential functions, including mourning, memorials, ecological and recreational. It will also investigate ways to attract various types of people . The study will employ research by design as the main methodology. It will also draw inspiration from international literature on the theories and case studies and identify a set of design methods. The research will use Hillsborough Cemetery, Auckland, New Zealand as a study case to investigate this problem and test possible design methods.
The expected outcomes will include a set of drawings, 3D models and a thesis to discuss more possibilities for a cemetery. The research will shed light on the multiuse of closed cemeteries in a growing urban area.
