Outline of an archaeology of the sepulchral space

Abstract

This contribution aims to develop a structuralist “critical measurement”, in order to individuate “formal principles” underlying the architectonical design of the Brion cemetery. Based on the theories elaborated by Vittorio Ugo concerning the issue of archetypes in architecture, an “archaeology” of the sepulchral space is here proposed, in order to perform a “classification” of the internal forms of the monument. The archetypes found are classified in two macro-families: “archaeology of nature” and “archaeology of architecture”.
