Lord of the Three Worlds
Hejdová, Dominika ; Hejdová, Milada (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
One of the last taboos in our society, death. Perhaps the reason we overlook it is precisely the certainty of our future encounter with it. Even though we, as a modern society, are in contact with death every day. An encounter with the real end of life is unknown to us. This is evidenced by the alarming decline in funeral ceremonies. As for the Czech Republic, we lead the world in the number of people buried without a ceremony. Yet, in many states, this type of burial is unknown. The thesis responds to this current situation and presents a conceptual vision for the city of Bruntál on how it could approach death, the farewell process, and the reintroduction of death rituals into life in the future. It builds upon a pre-diploma project that dealt with the history of death, mourning processes, and remembrance. The proposal responds to the current situation in Bruntál and the problem of the absence of a funeral hall.
