Description

This architectural project from 1943 for the construction of a cemetery in Quart de les Escaldes (Andorra) is a valuable testimony of the Catalan influence on Andorran urban planning and of cross-border relations in the Pyrenees. The document reflects the will to order and dignify funeral spaces in a context of demographic growth and social transformation. In addition, it highlights the transfer of technical and administrative knowledge between Catalonia and Andorra, strengthening the historical and cultural links between both territories. This project is part of the theme of the organization of collective services and shows how, even in apparently local areas, shared dynamics can be identified in the construction of a cohesive Europe that respects territorial diversity.
