Few subjects evoke as much sensitivity and refection, both within architecture and beyond, as those of death and mortality. Frank Lloyd Wright?s timeless reflection that ?youth is a quality, and once you have it, you never lose it, and when they put you in the box, that is your immortality? offers one insight into how architects place not just their buildings, but also their lives and careers in perspective.

Placing the coffin at its epicenter, the scheme translates the memorial sequence into three moments: the gathering of friends and family, the ceremony of remembrance, and the moment of social encounter.
