Catacombs of Paris
With the development of my design idea I tried looking for some inspiration.
Looking into 'Death Cult' and 'Death' I found Kutná Hora Sedlec. A cemetery church with a hidden beauty. In the Ossuary there are thousands of bones created to form outstanding decoration. During the 13th and 14th century many people wanted to be buried here, the abbots has to be creative with the bones they kept receiving and so created coats of arms and a large chandler in the centre which holds all the bones in the human body.
Back in 2012 I went to Paris and visited the Catacombs of Paris. A labyrinth of tunnels underneath the heart of the city of Paris, 20 metres underground and 2km long, there are meant to be approximately 6 million Parisians, transferred there gradually between the late eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries as graveyards were being closed because of the risk they posed to public health.
