Columbarium - Vertical Cemetery Tower
Vertical Cemetery Tower

Chanjoong Kim, founder of the System Lab designed a vertical cemetery tower called “Columbarium - The Last House” that’s 110 meters high and like a vascular system in the human body. It was created for the Biennale di Venezia 2006.

The architect’s vision for the future of vertical cemeteries will be brought to reality in a structure made from pre-fabricated steel components finished with titanium and solar panels that adorn the ash containers. With the solar power it generates during the day, this tower will also be a source of green energy to the city of Seoul. The individual ash containers will be activated by mobile phone. Along the floors, people could pay to their respects to their loved ones peacefully, and in the future, the Columbarium could also be a social gathering place. (coolest-gadgets)
