喪葬與思念其實是充滿感情的，我們對生命園區或墓園常帶著恐懼的心情去面對這其實是跟家人告別的最後一個地方。

什麼樣的建築在這裡可以避免這樣的恐懼，承載感情與記憶的空虛，讓我們靜下心來好好回想過去。思念是需要一個載體的，它並不一定是我們走後剩下了什麼，而是在什麼樣的空間內可以幫助我們面對過去。在這個園區裡面我們必須放置七萬個曾經，也代表著它承載了七萬個無法彌補的回憶。

逐漸傾斜的牆面，層層如魚鱗般的往上疊，好像身處在不一樣的山緣之間，在這傾斜的山壁上點香、蠟燭、獻花，讓這個記載感情的牆壁給我們一個沉思的機會。

牆面的傾斜，仰望著天，紀載著日光，陪著我們面對恐懼。很重，中空的混凝土拱心石光井，輕落在中庭屋頂，沉浸著光霂及希望。

牆是在建構距離。但在這，不同斜度的牆逐樓外傾，慢慢得離開追思的人，牆所建構感知的距離是離開而不是分隔。口字的正方平面迎接四方無常的氣候，傾斜的牆面不論風向，引入風城的風，不同的「風」景，也是新竹的獨特地域性。這是在以建構方式敘述新竹記憶的風塔。

Funerals are imbued with emotions. We often face the cemetery with fear, the last place we say farewell to our family member. What kind of architecture will be able to drive away the fear, bear the emptiness of emotion and memory, and at the same time be a space for us to settle down and recollect the past? We need a vessel for grief and loss. It is a space for us not to be left behind after we have passed, but a space to encourage us to face our past. This cemetery needs to carry the past memories of 70,000 souls --70,000 irreparable regrets.

The stacking of slanted walls constructs a vision of being surrounded by mountains. Placing incense, candles and flowers on the “mountainside” creates a wall and a chance for us to be lost in our thought.

Slanted walls facing the sky registers the rays of the sun, accompany us to confront fear. A skylight in the middle of the heavy concrete structure gently allows light and hope in the courtyard.

Wall is an element that suggests distance. The tilting walls at different angles create a visual sense of gradually leaving the griever. These walls create a sense of departure, instead of separation. A rectangular entryway invites unpredictable climate, and the slanted walls introduce wind from different directions. The cemetery is located in Hsinchu, renown as the ‘Wind City’. The design and construction method, of this wind tower, tells the stories and memories of the city.
