Shinjuku

With the station, some of Tokyo’s tallest buildings and energetic scenery of Kabukicho neighborhood, Shinjuku perfectly sets the stage for an exploration of architecture for the dead in the realm of the living. 

In Tokyo there are less and less of dark, unobvious spaces. The spirituality disappears in the vortex of colors, neons, lights and motion. The project relies on returning to the origin, to DNA the basic code of our lives.

​BIOCOMPUTER

Doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death" when defining a person as being dead. Contemporary definition of death says: ‘a person is dead when an electrical activity in his brain ceases’.

Is this definition sufficient? In the conditions of rapidly evolving science and in the light of recent discoveries, we believe that a new definition of death has to be proposed: irreversible loss of every trace of consciousness. 

Consciousness is an attribute of matter. It consists of hypothetical elementary particles, slippery to detect, such as gravitons entering the black hole. Biocomputer is a house of such particles - of consciousness which left the dying organism leaving only a faint trace. Last thought separated from the body.
