Imagine that you are thirty years old and you are entering an architecture competition. It is the year 1985. The contest is the project of a cemetery. The place is located at the bottom of an industrial estate, in a cul-de-sac. And you win it. With a proposal full of poetry and cross references.
With exquisite drawings not previously seen, elegant, and also difficult to decipher. And not knowing that 15 years later you will be buried in it.
