Life as humans are transient and momentary in the Cosmos. To be human is to know that you are not forever and with this idea lies a hope that our lives extend beyond the grave. The belief in afterlife runs psychologically deep and it is a reflection of an idea that our mind, our memories, our emotions, our desires are distinct and separate from our physical existence and stems from a longing that we exist perhaps even as immaterial souls.

The idea proposes an imaginative typology of a terminal space that permits the transfer of souls to either heaven or hell. The design concept explores various different theories of philosophy and expresses it through proposing a creation of an imaginative typology for all belief systems that serves as an arrival space for all souls before they embark on their journey of afterlife.
