Death anxiety and fear of the unknown are existential dilemmas that affect every individual at some point in their lives. While some cultures and religions embrace death in a more open and fluid manner, many Western traditions frame death in a taboo way. This lack of dialogue surrounding death and the process of grieving can provoke fear and stigmatize the topic, rather than foster an open-minded approach. Life-cycles are evident in everything around us; from the natural world to the built environment. Every animal, human, plant, insect, building, material, or resource follows a cycle of creation to decomposition. What happens next? This thesis will demonstrate how designing for death and being sensitive to the rhythm of grief are essential in creating spaces for after-life that bring people together through a shared experience.Interior design can be an agent in transforming how we create spaces that leave room for reflection on death, grief, our place in this world, and our connection to the natural environment. This project considers the way we articulate spatial transitions. It explores boundary and interstitial spaces as devices for concealing and revealing with the intention of creating an atmosphere of reflection and learning. This thesis will investigate how this can be achieved through the deployment and controlled application of the strategy in the following paragraph.By subtracting forms from a solid mass, a void is created which informs pathways and other openings. Despite pathways being generated, the sequence of this newly formed void is still concealed by a veil covering what is unknown. Interstitial spaces are created in the moments between solid and void spaces which provide opportunities for activating this intermediary space with a veil that can be altered to reveal the unknown. By creating reveals in veiled spaces, this path becomes sequentially more clear. This will be done through exploration of materiality and a slow exposure to different elements of this cycle. The environmental implications of traditional funeral methods will also be explored.This project will seek to create an ethereal and ephemeral atmosphere, providing levity in a typically heavy space. Subtle silhouettes visible in different spaces will create a comforting awareness of others while still providing privacy. The environment will be housed within the interstitial spaces created by the process of subtraction...and will be introduced as a device to poetically regulate visual access. It will be articulated in such a way that it invites the visitor to slowly learn and reflect on the death and mourning process. This thesis investigation will reframe the narrative and dialogue about death through design. Careful consideration of thresholds and the act of concealing and revealing can help achieve this transition. By prioritizing giving people agency in their relationship to understanding death practices, a new stance on death can begin to be developed.
