New Columbarium
Planning a funeral building
means designing an item which has a strong
symbolic value. It means dealing not only with a specific area where it will be
built, but especially with the spiritual values which belong to a community.
The design effort aimed to
create an architecture that identifies a place and is at the same time being able to interpret a psychological situation
almost suspended between life and death. Empty and full, light and dark alternate
themselves according to the distinct roles of those deceased and those who go
there to visit them. The project stands in contrast with the existing
architecture, as well as the purity of the lines that define the volumes and
their functions.
Great
importance has been given to the colour white that will allow the building’s architecture to carve out a new identity
in the surrounding agricultural landscape. All niches are composed by special
panels made in lightened concrete with a pattern of crosses and circles.
Crosses identify the male;
circles the female.
They may be exchanged niche
by niche according to the family’s needs and in
order to respect the external visual recognition enabling the façade to change its composition.
The panel also features a LED
strip that follows the drawing, replacing the usual perpetual light.
The project is designed as a
public area with benches and pool flower boxes in which users can put their
flower essences in order to serve the entire columbarium.
This strategy will allow a
clean image of the facades and will pay attention to those niches difficult to
reach because of the height or the lack of loved ones to take care of their deceased.
Materials: Walls made in white concrete then smoothed by Weber Saint-Gobain smoothing
shave and then treated with a white and opaque resin concrete. The niches are
buffered with special panels in lightened CLS. The epigraph plaque is made in white aluminum size 12cm x 75cm.
