The Decomposition Centre

Ryan Labuschagne

The building provides an environmentally friendly option for decomposition with a series of composting towers, decomposing a body within six weeks. A central circulation corridor divides the functional staff spaces with the mourner’s route.

The building represents the five stages of grief enabling mourners to connect with their emotions. Lavender lines the entrance representing isolation. Fire represents the stage of anger while the bargaining congregation space is illuminated by blue light making use of stained glass. A dark tunnel represents depression and the building culminates in the garden of acceptance, where the deceased is laid to rest in the decomposition module.
