GRAPHIC EXPRESSION

Produced for a Landscape Architecture course, these drawings document the Cimitero di Muda Maé in Longarone, a cemetery conceived less as an object and more as a landscape sequence.

The project is organized as a long, articulated path set slightly below the entry level, running in a trench between retaining walls faced in local light-grey stone. Along this walk, three circular clearings punctuate the route and host groups of burial niches, while stone benches introduce pauses for rest and contemplation. The construction is deliberately restrained: concrete structure and walls are consistently wrapped in stone, and the ground surfaces shift between stone paving, brick inserts, and Piave river pebbles, reinforcing a tactile, site-specific atmosphere.

Rather than imposing itself on the valley, the cemetery remains low and almost camouflaged, emerging mainly through a dry-stone boundary line that reads like a rural enclosure more than a conventional monumental precinct. The result is an “anti-cemetery” in the traditional sense: a quiet work of earth, walls, and vegetation that turns movement, thresholds, and measured clearings into the primary language of mourning and memory.
