Built in 1972 the square building was projected to recall a number of abstract concepts Rossi had written about before. The large orange cube starts the formalism of cemetery layouts and turns it into the concept of the utilitarian building of the San Cataldo grave. The building lays on rows of concrete stilts and the center of the structure is opened and anyone can see the tight grid of empty burial niches in the floors overhead.

Giorgio Grassi

Giorgio Grassiwas an Italian architect, born in 1935 in Milan. He worked for the magazine “Casabella-Continuità”. Later on he worked as Professor in the schools of architecture of Milan and Pescara. He wrote many books throughout his life. With his design, he took distance with tradition and expressed its evident intention to turn the place into something different: functional and historically oriented in lines. This rationalism is potent again in projects such as theresidential unit, and even in restorations such as the罗马Theatr恢复和康复的e of Sagunto.
