The process of the afterlife in Islam is elaborated through several stages (Death, pathway, Hell, Heaven) in the building as an inspirational journey. Since afterlife is beyond human capabilities, the building’s functionality is a human library and exhibition centre, spaces that work together to explore a metaphysical conversation working on enhancing the human nature. Since death is a universal experience, the journey will start from inside to outside. Every story starts with a beginning whereas this story starts with an end that will lead to an immortal beginning.
