The design concept draws upon the ancient symbolism of round geometry to evoke a profound sense of presence at its core. The structure comprises two distinct levels: one housing the actual tomb and the other serving as a public space. This duality modifies the surrounding topography, elevating the landscape and following a consistent principle along an elliptical pathway. At the heart of this design lies a ceremonial space, thoughtfully surrounded and isolated by both natural elements and man-made features. This arrangement fosters a contemplative atmosphere, inviting visitors to reflect and engage with the site’s historical significance while harmoniously blending with its environment.
