Descri­zio­ne del progetto

Pri­ma­ry inspi­ra­tion comes from the ico­nic ima­ge of small catho­lic cha­pels on distant crests, still met on the ancient land of the tran­syl­va­nian seclars. The par­tial­ly under­ground cha­pel in the hill­si­de ceme­te­ry is meant to be per­cei­ved at a redu­ced sca­le being the fir­st built object met on the road approa­ching the vil­la­ge set­tled in the val­ley. The who­le buil­ding beco­mes visi­ble only from the lower access plat­form, sho­wing itself towards the vil­la­ge mere­ly as a sharp accent abo­ve the hill­si­de orchards. The trans­pa­rent view along the cha­pe­l’s axis is respect­ful­ly focu­sed on the vil­la­ge’s old church, assu­ming the sub­ser­vient role in the distant archi­tec­tu­ral dia­lo­gue. Sha­ded by the high nor­thern tym­pan, the ful­ly under­ground mor­tua­ry cham­ber needs no refri­ge­ra­ting devi­ces to ful­fill it’s main goal. Beyond inte­gra­tion into an untou­ched natu­ral land­sca­pe, the hiding gestu­re ser­ves the trans­fer of east-euro­pean tra­di­tions of ritual hiding for grieving.
