Under a field of cherry desenaris assayed the relationship between traditional forest-northern cemetery and the cemetery Mediterranean tradition-building, to locate a program without hurting the beauty and serenity of the enclave.
The project is developed by the superposition of two realities and shapes that contrast and tension to emphasize its identity: the dotted grid in the field of cherry trees and clean and abstract geometry of the tombs. In plan, the architecture is compressed into long, narrow strips that are placed carefully among the cherry trees, following the contour lines.
In sum, the architecture crouches under the mantle of leaves and respects the scale of trees, allowing at all times the visual continuity of the above volumes and providing that space is legible as a whole.
