Before I was able to start planning and designing the memorial for my father, the first priority is to confirm the memorial location and the number of guests. After numbers of discussion meetings, the consensus from the elders was to rent the largest funeral hall, which seats 1,000 people from the Kaohsiung City Mortuary Office. I paid the site a visit, and was very shocked by the hideous poor condition of the funeral building. My objective was to transform this bare space. There were only 2 weeks to plan and organize, and 48 hours to put everything together. On top of which, I was in mourning and had zero experience in space design.
