Brion Cemetery / Carlo Scarpa / 1969 – 1978
San Vito D’Altivole / Italy

“I would like to explain the Tomba Brion … I consider this work, if you permit me, to be rather good and which will get better over time. I have tried to put some poetic imagination into it, though not in order to create poetic architecture but to make a certain kind of architecture that could emanate a sense of formal poetry … The place for the dead is a garden … I wanted to show some ways in which you could approach death in a social and civic way; and further what meaning there was in death, in the ephemerality of life – other than these shoe-boxes.”
Carlo Scarpa / “Can Architecture Be Poetry”
