The Igualada Cemetery
Description
What should we do with our dead? Incinerate them? Bury them? Make them disappear? Keep them nearby and visit them? A memorial spanning 20th century architecture and inspired by Le Corbusier and Richard Long, the Igualada Cemetery merges into the countryside near Barcelona. As in the rest of Spain, the dead are not buried, but rather piled into niches, superimposed tombs. Designed by Catalan architects Enric Miralles and Carme Pinos at the start of their careers, it features oblique concrete facades, river-like pathways, and an underground chapel. The unfinished project combines building and thoroughfare elements, and is intended to return to the earth.
