Scale of Life
Score: [v.4] conceptual drawing through text representing the spatial context, community, legacy and time of the event.
Scale of Life is the event I developed throughout the year. This event deals with the manifestation of death within the city. More in specific it consists of a journey along the Golden Horn River, Istanbul, where the customer together with his relatives will be taken through three specific moments: the preparation to death phase, the actual moment of death and the afterlife. Hence the legacy of the past away customer and his relatives. My interest was mainly focused on the preparation phase of the event, which consists of 12 different stations which try to represent the adequate atmosphere for the customer to complete his final tasks, such as: making amends, paying debts, body purification, final prayers...
