As a columbarium, the Museum of Decay reimagines death not as finality, but as a chance for transformation, connection and commemoration. Mourning is woven into the landscape through biodegradable memorials embedded with seeds, with their gradual erosion transforming personal bereavement into ecological renewal; honouring those lost through the germination of new life. Creating shared spaces for making and placing memorials, the project reshapes grief into moments of appreciation and community. As human presence recedes, built form surrenders agency to nature, the site itself becomes an artefact of former occupation, and the structure now stands as an unmoveable protest of natural reclamation.
