Armea Cemetery

The design of a cemetery is specular to the design of a town: at many rates, it is about enlarging the former structures, and, therefore, building cemeterial suburbs.

Unfortunately, we find very often ourselves in front of chaotic stratifications, where the relationship between the identity of what exists and what will be built is underestimated.

The project contemplates the realization of a half-self-sufficient enlargement, characterized by a certain functional and formal unity following the Siedlingens' model: for the first forty years the dead bodies will be buried in a graveyard, subsequently, for the next forty years, they will be moved into individual charnel houses, and, ultimately, they will be set, for an undetermined period of time, into a common ossuary and cinerary urn.
