- Description
- Abstract: This minor dissertation studies the relationship between Nature and Culture in an architectural sense. Chapwani Island, a small coral Island just off the West coast of Zanzibar is the case study of this investigation. The small cemetery occupies notions of memory, ritual and cultivation. The term ‘creole’ is a word that describes the wonderfully colourful cultural melting pot of Stone Town. Zanzibar is a place where culture and heritage are embodied in religion and ritual. Chapwani Island has the potential to become a cemetery of sorts, where Nature and Culture manifest into a farm that specialises in ritualistic plant material that celebrates the death ritual., M.Tech.
