New Territories Forensic Medicine Centre located at Fu Shan, Shatin, for the reprovisioning of Fu Shan Public Mortuary, is built to provide more body storage spaces in response to the quest of increasing demand in Hong Kong and enhance the quality of pubic mortuary services. The project site is around 6,600 sq.m. The building comprises eight autopsy suites, nine cold rooms and one deep freezer, functional facilities including body identification areas, interview rooms, facilities for bereavement services, autopsy viewing rooms, laboratories and offices, etc. This Forensic Medicine Centre is designed to meet the current standards in infection control, occupational safety and health standards of a modern public mortuary.
Design Concept:
Space is unseen, yet it provides. There is only one space to envelope many buildings where the difference between inside and outside space is essentially an illusion. Life, like space, is forever presence and would remain untouched even as our bodies perish in dust.
This idea of death is expressed by dissolving solid bodies as a form of container back to nature. Insulated cold rooms at the core offset to mediate between highly controlled forensic facilities to outdoor ceremonial gardens. Transparency constructed through skylights, open staircases, large windows and layered materials at the transitional space deconstructs building facades to reach out to the natural landscape.
From a sudden death to the final departure, life escapes all names. It is divine as well as ordinary, secretive yet completely open, which allows all dualities to merge into one. It serves as a place to rest, to meet and to remember.
