Cemetery of Dalmine

The new pavilion by CN10 architetti is in contrast with the big extension of the existent cemetery to create a collected, protected, intimate and measured place.

The municipality of Dalmine, a city of 25.000 inhabitans in the north of Italy, had the necessity to increase the main cemetery with a new pavilion to host 500 niches for ossaries and cinenary urns. The new pavilion is different respect the traditional tipology, that is usually made up of a colonnade open on the big central space of the cemetery, in fact the new building is composed by three repeated blocks on the west side of the cemetery.

These monomaterics blocks made with white concrete and marble of Zandobbio are expression of a simple language that try to represent the deep sense of the building that is the memory, the relationship between life and death, causing a mood suspended in an inaccessible and sacral dimension.

People come throught empty spaces between the volumes, in continuity with the internal path that crosses and connects the blocks. This new composition is in contrast with the big extension of the existent cemetery to create a collected, protected and measured place where the people can find a more intimate and quiet dimension.
