Pilgrimage – Igualada Cemetery
Besides Gaudi, another homebred architect from Barcelona is Enric Miralles. I first heard about him in a second year lecture and never gave much thought since. However after seeing his works in real life, I think he’s a brilliant place-maker.
This cemetary built in 1985 made him famous and led to many high profile commissions in the 1990s. Pity he passed away in 2000 at the young age [for an architect] of 45.
Are Those Legs I Am Seeing?
It has certainly broken my preconceptions of a cemetary. It certainly broke mine. Bravo, Miralles! Your work still stood to inspire even after your death.
