Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-01

With the acceleration of urbanization, urban land resources are becoming increasingly tight, and some old cemeteries are also facing the pressure of dense urban population and shortage of surplus land resources. Therefore, in the process of renovation and upgrading of old cemeteries, how to break through the limited land increment, improve the funeral infrastructure, and solve the contradiction between the density of cemetery placement and the greening rate has become the top priority.

Yang Yi Group takes "micro-transformation" as the entry point, and integrates and utilizes scattered plots of land through reasonable planning and design to increase the capacity and area of the cemetery. The integrated development of sporadic corner plots of the old cemetery will be carried out to upgrade the environment, add a touch of new "green" to the old cemetery, rejuvenate it, and better serve the development of the city and the needs of people.

The developed land of Qidong Chang'an Cemetery is close to saturation, and how to effectively use the sporadic land in the corners to meet the needs of the local people is an urgent problem to be solved.

After on-site investigation and in-depth investigation with the leaders of the park, the Yang Yi planning and design team unanimously approved the plan of using the entrance of the park and the road on the left to plan and design the landscape wall burial and flower bed burial.

After the transformation

Yiyuan: Located at the entrance, it is designed with an arc enclosure to make the space soft, and the hedges are used to decorate the wall burials between the wall burials, and the sun is swaying, and there is a feeling of quiet time in the meantime.

Love Garden: The granite wall burial panel is decorated with exquisite copper ornaments, integrating the regional humanities and building a solemn and quiet humanistic memorial place with local characteristics.

On the outer wall of the park, local folk customs paintings such as carved boards, hanging beams carrying water, pulling lamps in the middle of the New Year, ramming the foundation, and wheat are drawn, which causes emotional resonance in inheriting the culture, and is also a tribute and remembrance to the local culture.

Changshengyuan: The suitable height of the flower pot wall burial not only visually separates the old cemetery, but also the scenery along the road, and at the same time produces economic benefits, killing multiple birds with one stone.

Flower bed burial area: the road between the wall burials, a group of flower beds are arranged in an orderly manner, trees are planted and landscaped, and they are evergreen in all seasons. The delicate copper panels enclose a group of flower beds, which not only beautifies the environment, but also provides a place to express sorrow and remember the deceased.

Landscape wall burials and flower bed burials are a feasible way to renovate old cemeteries, which can not only rejuvenate the old cemeteries, alleviate the shortage of land resources for tombs, but also meet the needs of "peace after death".

In the process of micro-renovation of the old cemetery, Yang Yi injected new vitality into the urban development with his unique perspective and innovative ideas. Through the integration and utilization of sporadic plots, it not only improves the capacity and environmental quality of the cemetery, but also adds a touch of new "green" to the city. This renovation method not only solves the problem of land resource shortage, but also provides better services and humanistic care for urban residents. In the future, the micro-renovation of the old cemetery will continue to exert its value and significance, and become an indispensable part of the sustainable development of the city.
