We are looking at a possible end of the world with the end of terrestrial and soil centric processes of growth and decomposition.Multiple soil sacred spaces like the community gardens, compost yards and burial sites across NYC act as soil contact zones for these processes to take place.‘ Memory of the future’ marks these zones, to be discovered for tomorrow. If the end may come, discovering these will ignite a new beginning with learning from the end.There are three sites where these ecological markers which can be replicated or remodelled across the city are envisioned.Some of these sites need to be sustained ( Ex. Teaching garden at Governors island) , activated ( Ex. All faith cemetery at Queens) and re-activated (Ex. Closed down ‘Big reuse’ compost yard along Gowanus canal). Here a community seed storage, a natural human burial space and a mycelium based waste generation yard emphasising on soil cultures and soil centric communities become the markers respectively. These markers built with soil, using rammed earth and filler slab techniques with time will become soil again, ending where it began. They become spaces to remember the horizontal relationship with soil as we sow the seeds of death and perform the burial of life.
