We’ve always believed that the way we approach memorial design should be different—more thoughtful, more personal, and always with the aim of creating something truly unique. At our design studio, it’s really important for us to get to know our clients and their stories. This forms the heart of our holistic approach. By learning more about the personal stories of those who have passed, we can incorporate intricate details that enhance each memorial, delivering a lasting legacy for families. We are proud to be a champion for change in the memorial industry, always striving to create something truly meaningful that honours the lives and memories of those you love.We’re honoured to be recognised for our efforts to innovate, and we will continue to push boundaries and support families every step of the way. 💖 #MindfulMemorials #BusinessInnovation #Finalists #DesignStudio #BespokeMemorials #HolisticDesign #InnovativeMemorials #MemorialDesign #ThoughtfulMemorials #PersonalStories #LegacyTributes #HonouringLovedOnes #MemorialIndustry #CreativeMemorials #MemorialCrafting #PersonalisedMemorials #BespokeTributes #MemorialCreation #ReflectiveDesign #ChampionForChange #HealingThroughDesign #MemorialSupport #GriefSupportCommunity #MemorialJourney #LastingLegacies #IndustryInnovation #PeacefulMemorials

"A curated view of where innovation is happening in marketing today, why it matters, and how it is transforming modern business". --- Iconic structure. We see the application of architecture in various sectors, and in many cases, we come across truly unique and remarkable projects that can be considered innovative. For some time now, I've also had the chance to observe projects related to religious sites, and Lloyd Wright's Wayfarers Chapel outside of Los Angeles is one of these. Built in an organic style, it features large geometric windows surrounded by an intricate steel frame that incorporates the surrounding environment into its design, echoing the architectural language of Frank Lloyd Wright. The chapel, completed by his son in 1951, has remained a popular destination ever since. Following an increase in land movement surrounding the area, the organization has announced it will disassemble the landmark for preservation. Affiliated with the Swedenborgian Church of North America, Wayfarers Chapel was constructed between 1949 and 1951 and serves as a memorial to the 18th-century scientist and theosopher Emanuel Swedenborg. 🙌 What’s your take? # 361 ARCHITECTURE, United States 👉 More content on our website and subscribe to the weekly newsletter; the link to the featured news is in the first comment below. 🎯 If you want to learn more about our transformative approach to generating growth (yes, what we call innovation marketing!), feel free to write me privately.

"Presenting the final design of my crematorium—a space that embodies the profound stillness of nothingness. The design is anchored by a floating datum plane, symbolizing the transition between being and non-being. Spaces emerge above and below, creating moments of connection and disconnection with the sky, earth, and surrounding environment. It’s a reflection of life’s ephemeral nature, thoughtfully crafted to evoke contemplation, solace, and peace. This journey has been one of exploration, emotion, and purpose—designing not just a structure but a meaningful experience. #FinalDesign #CrematoriumArchitecture #NothingnessInDesign #ArchitecturalJourney #DesignWithPurpose #ArchitectureAndEmotion"

🌟 The Lincoln Memorial, an iconic symbol of American democracy, is more than just a grand structure in Washington, D.C. Completed in 1922, this majestic monument was designed by architect Henry Bacon to resemble a Greek Doric temple. Its design reflects the enduring values of the nation, with 36 columns representing the states in the Union at the time of Lincoln's death. The central statue of Abraham Lincoln, sculpted by Daniel Chester French, stands a towering 19 feet tall and embodies the strength and resilience of the 16th President. 🏛️ 📜 Beyond its architectural splendor, the Lincoln Memorial has been the backdrop for significant historical moments. It was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech during the 1963 March on Washington, a pivotal event in the Civil Rights Movement. This powerful address resonates with the memorial’s mission to promote freedom and equality, reinforcing its role as a symbol of hope and progress. ✊🏿 📸 The memorial’s reflective pool and its serene, contemplative setting offer more than just visual beauty; they provide a space for visitors to connect with the ideals of liberty and justice. Its position on the western end of the National Mall facing the U.S. Capitol symbolizes Lincoln’s enduring legacy in guiding the nation's democratic principles. Whether you're visiting to admire its architectural grandeur or to reflect on its historical significance, the Lincoln Memorial stands as a testament to America's past and a beacon for its future. 🇺🇸 Below is my watercolor depiction of this monument in the Beaux Arts style. oringinal size: 20"x30" #lincolnmemorial #beauxarts #urbanplanning #architecture

What a great project and outcome. Signs matter.

The $100-million Capital Line project, a signature pedestrian and bike “urban pathway” set to transform Downtown Columbus, is making strides with plans to revitalize Gay Street as Phase One of the project. This first phase includes reducing and shifting the vehicle lanes to maximize area for pedestrians, bicyclists, and people-focused amenities. The concept design includes inviting outdoor seating, lush tree canopy, attractive walkways, and soothing lighting. This project will further enhance Downtown by increasing livability, supporting businesses, and attracting visitors.   When complete, the multiphase project will create a 2-mile loop connecting key attractions including the Scioto Mile riverfront, National Veterans Memorial & Museum, Dorrian Green, COSI, The Peninsula, Columbus Commons, the Ohio Statehouse, and the ‘Current’ sculpture at Gay and High streets. This transformational project is a partnership between the City of Columbus and Downtown Columbus, Inc. with the design team of WSP and MKSK.   Join us for the second public engagement session tonight from 5-6:30 PM at the Downtown Innovation Lab, 139 S. High St., Columbus, OH 43215 to share your thoughts and help shape this exciting project!   For more information: https://lnkd.in/gTSY_NRa   #CapitalLine #DowntownColumbus #ColumbusOH #ShapePlace #PlacesforPeople #UrbanDesign #ASLA #APA #IDA #ULI

Ever heard of scope gap? If you've ever been involved in building a complex project - like a commercial interior, a new home, or a museum exhibit - you've probably encountered it. Listen as Bridgewater CEO, Eric Cup, explains how scope gap can creep into a project...

Elephants! Elephants everywhere! A colleague, recounting a tale of his past, happened to mention a building (that was sort-of central to the story) that I’d never come across. Perhaps you have, but if not, let me introduce the Coventry Central Baths & Elephant. Yes. “…& Elephant.” I mean, you can see why. The planning department in Coventry must’ve been quite a place to work in the early 1960’s (not just for this remarkable thing. I happened across a review on here of a Ladybird edition dedicated to the city’s architectural vision, produced contemporaneously. Such vision. If a little flawed, human-scale-wise.) We still talk of ‘elephants in the room’ a lot. In fact, can’t think if a project that wasn’t shadowed by the elephantLurker. But can you imagine the conversations around the development in the home of Lady Godiva? Amazingly, the Coventry Central Baths & Elephant still stands, i.e. it hasn’t gone on fire. Yet. Tricky when the hulking thing is Grade II listed… but not impossible. Unlike many of its contemporary white elephants - which, as an aside, I also never knew the origin of, so accordingly I looked it up. Is an n old Thai custom of “gifting rare, expensive-to-keep (very, very pale) elephants to the reigning monarch.” Quite how the idea was transposed to buildings as a burdensome asset is less clear. UNTIL YOU SEE COVENTRY’S ELEPHANT, maybe? Seems quite obvious with hindsight. Anyway, the sad news is that no-one can see a use for the aging pachydermBuilding. Or rather, no-one appears to have the where-with-all to fund what really needs to happen- (imo) to re-open it as a sports hall. Hope someone can step in, before another amazing piece of the city-scape ends up in the elephants graveyard. Hat-tip to @MaxTuttle for the lovely story that kicked this off. #architecture #coventry #listedbuildings #elephants #sixtiesUK #planning #renovation #projects
