Igualada Cemetery -for the dead and live

Igualada Cemeteryis situated at Barcelona Spain and designed by Enric Miralles and Carme Pinos.


Igualada cemetery is not designed as a traditional burial ground for the dead, however emphasized on cycle of life.
The steel pole providing a curving path from the entrance.
The details on the wall are very simple yet intricate.
The flow of landscape lead the live to sense the place with their experience.

The use of light and shadow.

I am always interested in Cemetery projects (maybe I am weird), found this cemetery while doing lecture notes. The contrast of the living trees and the dead burial ground forms a interesting play in the cemetery.
