A Farewell to Life
University/SchoolUniversity of Newcastle
Lead ArchitectKhai Vun Edwin Ho
The project aims to mitigate loneliness during the end of life experiences. The experience of dying can feel isolating and lonely, even with stream of visitors. Both patient and family can feel frightened and lonely when the end of life is close. This project brings people together through the shared experience of dining. It provides a series of kitchen and dining spaces on an existing hospice site so that family could come and cook together rather than just sit around the bed and watch their love one just be sick.
