San Michele cemetery

David Chipperfield ArchitectsVenice, Italy2017

The San Michele Cemetery, Venice’s principal cemetery, is located on an island between Venice and Murano. Established in 1807, San Michele has been under continuous development for over 200 years, including its extension in 1839, when two islands were joined together (San Michele and San Cristoforo della Pace). In order to address the imbalance, developed gradually over the years, between its romantic outer face and its interior municipal character, the proposal aimed at redefining some of the cemetery’s original physical qualities.
