The dissertation explored the spatial and architectural parameters that create meaningful interactions within ritual and sacred spaces, focussing on the Braamfontein Crematorium as a site primed for re-ritualisation and pragmatic retrofitting. Through a number of approaches, including Applied Hermeneutical Analysis, the types of interactions between ritual participants, objects and thresholds were deconstructed and a new programme for the crematorium site was developed which elaborated on the ritual of cremation by incorporating staged spaces for different ritual mourners and participants, such as a presentation room - designed to facilitate the first presentation of ashes to loved ones, as well as a new series of open-air columbaria which provided much needed additional interment space for the Braamfontein Cemetery site. This process re-ritualised a site that had begun to fall into a state of pure industrial function, despite its significant heritage and ritual value to the City of Johannesburg. mi2026 Architecture MArch (Prof) Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities 2023-02-14T09:49:57Z 2023-02-14T09:49:57Z 2023-05 2022 Mini Dissertation * A2023 https://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/89479 en © 2022 University of Pretoria.
