Enric Miralles, Igualada Cemetery

Here is something that made me reflect. Enric Miralles designed this cemetery in Barcelona, where he now rests himself. the picture above shows a small section of the cemetery. the concrete slabs elevating themselves to the sky represent our journey after death into the heavens. the ground is the earth of course. then we see a gap/void between the earth and the inclined concrete slab. this is exactly the height of Le Corbusier's modular man and we sit into that space/void. it represents us and the moment we are in between life and death.

just a thought.
