field of remains I MLA spring 2011
Field of Remains is a cemetery located at a quarry site to the east of Austin, TX. Our site analysis showed that the site supported four major soil types. Vegetation and habitat zone plant community choices reflect these different conditions. Our project started out by considering the role of a cemetery as public space. We believe that the construction of a place for the deceased is an opportunity to create a place for the living. We used the four major soil types and vegetation zones as a structuring mechanism for the different types of disposition.group members:
