Project description
Existing old vaults in this
deep-sloped plot inspired the cemetery grid and global layout. Familial
and individual vaults are separated by an internal path leading to the
chapel’s square. An intricate circuit of ceremonial ramps, linked by
shortcut stairs, lead to all areas of the cemetery. All three main
blocks are embraced by one rigorous architectural language. Forms,
materials and colors are studied and adjusted to fade into the sloped
pine tree hill. Planted terraces cover all built elements.
