Now cemeteries around New York City are overcrowded and hygiene no longer is a problem, it seems feasible to insert a huge columbarium in Manhattan. About 8 kilometers of spiraling ‘lane’ is rolled up along the immense void in this cross-shaped sky scraper.

Tombstones can be replaced with monitors. Funniest home videos will pay respect to the deceased. Until the tapes fade: white noise…

In the horizontal arms of the cross we propose to install a new type of New York Earthroom. Here you’ll find the more conventional graveyard: God’s acre halfway of Heaven.
