Resumen: | Several definitions of architecture encompass such questions as how to meet human needs, accommodate activities, display power, remember past events, or-most recently-trigger new and more complex social schemes. All these examples are meant to convey meanings and functions for living people. But what happens when we require architecture to deal with the aftermath of life? Funerary architecture has the delicate duty of representing a threshold between two phases of human existence: life and its end. More than in other architectural typologies, funerary architecture needs to create a religious atmosphere in which proportions, light, colors and materials are called upon to provide an adequate platform for the belief, remembrance, grief and tribute that follow a loss. |
