First approach and adaptation of an idea to the
project site. This approach is based on the develo-pment
of a path (maze), establishing differentiated
moments of strong relation with the striking
surrounding. The brief was to design a cemetery
with car parking, a Chapel, a Crematorium and
organize the area where the coffins go.The de-sign
starts with the car parking, followed by
the building that contains the chapel and the
crematorium. the building concept was to creat
a barrier/border in order to bring more privacy
to the ceremony, after that we have a open space
that is marked with architectural elemnents that
show us different kinds of paths, combined whith
structures where the coffins go. The main idea
was to kept the intervention as minimal as possi-ble
making sure that the surounding would be a
very strong element.
