FOSSAR DE LA PEDRERA MEMORIAL

Site: Fossar de la Pedrera
Cemetery de Monjic

Architect: Beth Gali

Assignment: Transition: Sacred to Profane
Sketch a plan and section showing the relationship of the quarry space to the street. Indicate in your drawings the zones of sacred space, profane space and the transition space between.

Questions to consider: Please answer with visual and textual notes in your sketchbook
How are each of these zones articulated architecturally?
How do the architectural elements and materiality of the space and path choreograph an experiential sequence?
Locate the two points of access into the quarry. Are “entry” and “exit” suggested or prescribed by the design of the space?
What is the physical relationship of the quarry to the street and surrounding spaces? (boundaries, views, thresholds, connections, ...)?
In plan, consider how the geometries of the architecture respond to the natural topography.
