some LANDSCAPES: Igualada Cemetery

Carme Pinos is a spanish Architect, who is widely known for designing the Igualada Cemetery. This cemetery is one of the most poetic works of architecture in the 20th century. Enric Miralles, who also helped design the cemetery along with Pinos was buried in this cemetery after his death in the year 2000. Their design was an attempt to link the cycle of life with the past, present and future. I believe they did a great job because it looks like a real city of the dead. I think they did well provoking the thoughts and memories of people who visit this cemetery.
