In Porcellengo, in the province of Treviso (Italy), 120 grammi architecture studio designed a grave in the local cemetery using poor technologies and materials in order to minimize any decorative apparatus and emphasize the meaning of the expressive elements.
The architects mainly used anodized aluminium and concrete, that perfectly represent the passing of time; a vertical cut on the cemetery wall connects the new tomb with the funeral shrine located in the old town cemetery.
In addition, the new funerary chapel opens towards the sky, towards the branches of the trees planted outside the cemetery, establishing an imaginary connection between earth and heaven.
