B. Aim and Task "Search for a forward-looking concept"
Four individual sites within the city of Stuttgart were chosen for this competition.
Applicants may only choose one.
Applicants are asked - whilst taking into consideration the surroundings and special characteristics of their chosen site - to provide a design / concept / idea for the site which meets the requirements of a place of remembrance for a beloved person, for a place of contemplation, for farewells, burial and mourning. Applicants are asked to consider the individuality of their chosen site.

The use of coffins and urns for burial is not necessarily a key factor for the design. The participant are expected to use their own imagination. lt is possible that burial might take place outside the site.
There are no rules for the integration of rooms or buildings such as crematorium, mortuary, morgue, equipment room, cafè etc. The integration of such facilities is optional to the participants: consideration of such facilities needs to meet the overall idea of the applicants' concept. However, if such facilities are considered they have to be designed to meet the individual characteristics of the chosen site.

The aim of this competition is to find a general prototype. The awarding organisation is looking for a variety of designs / concepts / ideas suggesting alternative arrangements beyond the traditional idea of a cemetery to rneet the increasing individuality and cultural diversity of modern society.

As creativity, innovation and visions are the core of this design and idea competition, the consideration of laws and regulations is not required. And yet, participants may take a good look at them. The compulsory burial on a cemetery may not be considered.

Nevertheless, participants must take into consideration that cemeteries are part of cultural life and heritage. How do we define the cultural significance of the final hour? The cemetery ot the future should be a place of remembrance, consolation, farewell, remembrance, consolation, transition and permanence ....

C. Sites
Four sites within the city of Stuttgart were chosen for this competition. All four have individual spatial and structural characteristics. Nevertheless, they have overall characteristics relevant to the spirit and concept of this competition.

The individual aspects of these four sites are intended to meet the structural as well as cultural diversity of modern city life:
o inner city, centrally situated, where many people drive or walk pass, or merely wait, rneet, work, shop, relax or rest
o at traffic junctions - situated where car-drivers and passengers of public transport - e.g. of tube or trains - pass by giving this site only a short glance; a restless place without peace and quiet.
o RuralI suburban sites situated between separate parts of the city and yet highly frequented as place for recreation, situated near to a traditional cemetery which will continue to exist as a place for funerals, final blessings etc.

For these individual sites concepts tor the "Cemetery of the Future" should be designed meeting the specific targets of B. Applicants are asked to chose only one site. The approximate location of all sites may be found in the official city map in the attachment.
