This book portrays the architecture of European crematoria, showing how architecture creates a space for rituals of death and remembrance. Cremation is a recent but fast-growing tradition throughout Europe. It links up with our tendency to make more deeply considered life choices that go beyond death. What active role can architecture play in this process? In order to answer this question, the authors charted crematoria throughout Europe. Never before has the architecture of crematoria been so extensively portrayed, analyzed and documented with background information. "Goodbye Architecture" provides a wide range of architectural references and starting points for developing funeral architecture that is suited to cremations and the development of new rituals
"This book portrays the architecture of Europe's crematoria. It describes the ways in which architecture can facilitate farewell and commemoration rituals. In Europe, cremation is a recent but fast-growing tradition. This coincides with the fact that more and more Europeans are making more deliberate choices concerning death and cremation: about places, ways and settings in which to say goodbye, about the meaning of cremation and about the part architecture can play in the process. Looking for answers to these questions, architects Vincent Valentijn and Kim Verhoeven mapped crematoria across Europa. Never before was crematorium architecture portrayed, analysed and provided with background information in this much detail. 'Goodbye Architecture' offers a wide range of architectural references and starting points for the development of a funerary architecture that is suitable for cremation."--Back cover
