Description concept: The project as a whole and its coloration express the main concerns of the architect, who conceives of the cemetery as if it were an unfinished and ephemeral “city for the dead”. The architect intends to develop a monument for the collective memory of a society, which identifies the formal attributes of past architecture, and projects meanings on these new essential forms.
