Digital Electronic Archive for the Deceased

An examination of contemporary American views of mortality and a possible new approach to the traditional cemetery site.

I hope the issues that arose inspire people to question the role of architecture and technology as a part of their life, or death

A Sacred city of the dead, were gambling is legal. Times that need to be remembered, but are forgotten in its own fabric. Gridded tombs become sacred gardens. Line upon line of code that entices tears and smiles.


The binary data that creates memories... memories that preserve an essence of life, a spark of continuation in the Ether.
