FORM AND FUNCTION
The interior and the exterior of the building form a whole. The used materials are a background for the exhibition. The architecture is not supposed to interfere with the emotional message of the personal items belonging to the victims buried at the cemetery. A clear simple division of functions has been suggested inside the building. The entrance to the building is located at the ending of the main alley from the cemetery. The visitor enters the glazed space of teh hall, with a reception and a cloakroom on the right, closed within a steel panel booth, so as not to restrict the inside cubature and the view from the outside. The end of the hall holds an education room and a corridor to the café, the restrooms, and the office area with a backstage. The rectangular exposition space is separated with a reinforced concrete wall. In the direction of the cemetery the exhibition space opens with a wide glassing, directing the eye of the visitor to the three white crosses at the end. The glass patios include pines. The patios enlight the exhibition area, separating particular parts of the exposition, and organizing the direction of the visit.
