The project name, "Eternal Mound", originates from the interaction between people and space. Death is not fading, but a transcendence of time, and therefore eternal. The design team created a stepped-open architecture according to the base conditions. Each floor has its theme, and all of them are with the imagery of a mound. Lastly, the colors of flowers are highlighted with a light tone base. The white space also allows visitors to feel their inner peace.
The mound is surrounded by flowers and trees, so there is a soul trail that blends in with nature. The mound also represents a small heap of earth, so the arch-shaped space with different cultures from the East and the West is arranged to let every soul rest in peace. Furthermore, the project also takes into account the mountain conditions and uses techniques such as moisture resistance and sun shading to enhance visitors' experience.
