Situation: Setting Goals and Vision

Team Objectives:

Respond to national funeral reform policies by creating the first "technology + humanistic" integrated memorial space benchmark in China, achieving industry breakthroughs with an annual of 50,000 visitors and a user satisfaction rate of 90%+.  

Personal Role:

As the lead designer, responsible for translating the abstract concept of "a final resting place in space" into an implementable spatial design, addressing core pain points of traditional cemeteries such as low space utilization and weak emotional connections.  

Complication: Revealing Project Challenges

Three Core Challenges:

1. **Difficulty in Conceptual Concreteization**  

   - How to transform the sci-fi symbol of a "space capsule" into a physical space that respects taboos in funeral culture?  

   - The conflict between metallic coldness and human warmth: Stainless steel materials can easily appear冰冷, requiring a balance between technological feel and a mourning atmosphere.  

2. **Technical Implementation Barriers**  

   - High precision requirements for the curved capsule structure (errors must be controlled within ±2mm).  

   - Stability of the holographic projection + smart interactive system (must ensure 7×24 hours of故障-free operation).  

3. **User Acceptance Risks**  

   - Unknown acceptance of the "space burial" concept among middle-aged and elderly groups (requires validation through research).  

   - Challenges in integrating traditional worship rituals with digital memorials.  

**Question: Identifying Key Contradictions**  

The above conflicts lead to three core issues:  

1. **Unfocused Design Language:** Excessive pursuit of a technological feel may weaken the solemnity expected of funeral spaces.  

2. **Cost vs. Experience矛盾:** High-end materials and smart systems drive the cost per square meter 300% higher than traditional cemeteries.  

3. **Cultural Adaptability Risks:** The space theme may trigger ethical controversies such as "disrespecting ancestors."  

**Answer: Solutions and Value Presentation**  

**Four-Dimensional Breakthrough Strategies:**  

1. **Conceptual Reconstruction: Technology Empowers Rather Than Overthrows Tradition**  

   - Symbolic Translation: Deconstruct the "space capsule" into an "ark of life," incorporating traditional Chinese eaves curves into the capsule door design (curvature ratio 1:3.5).  

   - Material Innovation: Develop "temperature-sensitive stainless steel" (embedded with a 28°C constant temperature layer) to transform the touch from冰冷 to warm.  

2. **Cultural Adaptation: Building an Eastern Narrative for the Space Theme**  

   - Develop a "Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions" memorial system: Each **Columbarium** unit corresponds to an ancient lunar mansion name (e.g., "Orion" for longevity).  

   - Design biodegradable stardust capsules: Ashes are mixed with space plant seeds, and families can plant memorial trees.  

3. **User Experience: End-to-End Emotional Design**  

   - Worship pathways feature an "interstellar journey" themed light show (a 15-minute光影 transition from the Earth layer to the space layer).  

   - Develop an AR ancestral star map: Scanning the memorial wall reveals a virtual distribution of the family's genes in the galaxy.  

**Quantifiable Results and Value Elevation**  

Through the application of the SCQA model, this project not only resolves the core contradictions in translating "space burial" from concept to reality but also redefines the value boundaries of the funeral industry—we are not selling storage space but enabling every life to become part of the universe in the coolest way. This mindset can be replicated in various fields such as cultural tourism and exhibitions, opening a second growth curve for the group.
