Descri­zio­ne del progetto

As the exi­sting capa­ci­ties of Pože­ga ceme­te­ry had been used with no pos­si­bi­li­ty to expand, a new ceme­te­ry was built on the plain in the sou­thern part of the city. Loca­ted in a field bar­red by roun­ded, tape-like walls that form a cha­pel, a hall, a mor­tua­ry and some addi­tio­nal func­tio­nal spa­ces; at the same time they also sepa­ra­te the ceme­te­ry spa­ce from the field and form the main entran­ce. With the roun­ded wall geo­me­try, the size of the com­plex and the usa­ge of the over­ba­ked clay bricks, which is often con­si­de­red as a dispo­sa­ble mate­rial and it the­re­fo­re car­ries a cer­tain pati­na, the ceme­te­ry fits sui­ta­bly into the envi­ron­ment, giving us the impres­sion that it has always been there.
The inte­rior is calm, without unne­ces­sa­ry fur­ni­shing, the com­bi­na­tion of mate­rials crea­tes a spa­ce that is warm and spi­ri­tual. The bare bricks domi­na­te the view, com­bi­ned with unfur­ni­shed gra­ni­te floors, woo­den sur­fa­ces and fur­ni­tu­re made out of Sla­vo­nian oak.

Cen­tral cross is posi­tio­ned at the end of an axis that starts at the entran­ce and runs in paral­lel with the main buil­ding. The cross is made out of gil­ded stain­less steel and is almo­st ten meters high. The base of the cross is com­pri­sed of two orga­nic forms. The one which holds the cross is coa­ted in gra­ni­te, whi­le the other one that ser­ves as an access point and it also car­ries three ben­ches was made out of care­ful­ly pou­red con­cre­te, which was sand­bla­sted after­wards. On this base the fir­st oak from the spi­ral line of oak trees is plan­ted; the line was con­struc­ted to form a back­ground the to cross one day — cross being the final point of the axis of the cemetery.
