Landscaping analysis of the non-catholic Cemetery in Rome and design of new elements to the cult of memory

Abstract

The aim of this project is understand the situation of the Non-catholic Cemetery in Rome, examined both in its historical and urban evolution, within the surrounding landscape. This was the basis to address, from a design point of view, today’s need to insert new burial elements in a reality characterized by a historical identity and evocative already deeply established, both from a spatial point of view collective imagery. It was necessary to read the meaning of the cult of the dead in contemporary society and deepen the knowledge of the different identity of the place, resulting from multiple interactions with its environment: cemetery and context, they are heavily contaminated-made to each other in terms of history and urban.
