EXPLORATION4: my wonder

MY WONDER....

I has got an special interest (wonder) toward our future world.

At the moment, we has kept building graves around our houses when somebody died. It is likely that we are living AROUND grave, cemetery. Especially, we have cemeteries everywhere in Japanese, sometimes next to our house.

BUT, what happen we keep making graves?

It will be that we are living IN cemetery.... How scary it is!!!!





I have heard that Swiss nations buy a grave for 20 years, and they would dig up bodies after 20 years. However, I am sure nobody want to dig up their family's died bodies from graves. They must wish family's repose in the grave. Is anyone want to have a house on land where was cemetery? It may be able to use as a public space/facility.




However, if we can have this system, I reckon we can use these unusable spaces for other purposes.




Taigougun



Taigougun is a concrete shelter for hiding combat planes in World War 2. It is located everywhere in Japan. Japanese old nation fights shy of its existence still. Even many of people hate to see those buidlings which are related to war. Japanese government want to keep these building for mamorial reason as a historical heriage. However, unfortunately due to the construction boom, we are losing these historical heriages. But as many of people do not want to keep it, it is totally unusuable spaces.












Some of these concrete shelter has been used as a memorial buildings for educational purposes. Hoever, this shelter has been decided to be used as storages for a granary.


This was an air-raid shelter in World War 2. As I mentioned, most of people do not like to keep these places, there is no use. However, it had been used as houses for poor people who needed a special support from government.





These are only a few examples to use unusable spaces.





Well....This post is only for satisfying my wonder. I hope/may be able to develop my concept from this exploration.
