Brief About The Project: 

The cemetery reflects the Paradise in Holly Quran and Islamic Art to achieve a case of balance between being a space for dead as their eternal life space and the living by showing the best image , emphasizing the ease of access, a cheap shading structure which were reflected by the platforms that connect different topographic levels which will also be gathering spaces at funerals, a wide view of the site in addition to water elements were also emphasized at the entrances and run all over the cemetery to help cooling the space and watering the plants on the site.
