San Michele Cemetery, Venice


Built 2004

Designed by David Chipperfield Architects


 

I visited San Michele Cemetery in 2018. David Chipperfield Architects began work here in 2004. The second phase was completed not long before my visit in 2017, which may explain the emptiness of some of its courtyards.

It is a refined, becalmed space with, unsurprisingly, an air of mortality.
