Necrópolis cineraria para la ciudad de Loja, rediseño del cementerio general Parque de los Recuerdos

Abstract

The general cemetery of Loja "Parque de los Recuerdos" suffered from a disorderly growth due to the need for new graves, pushing the vault blocks to the limits of the land where it borders with consolidated urban area, a fact that violates the current regulations and makes the cemetery a contaminant risk for its environment. At the same time, due to the excessive use of spaces for burial in a single person that has been maintained, the cemetery is about to saturate its cavity and end its functional life.

That is why the present project has the objective of redesigning the general cemetery of Loja “Parque de los Recuerdos" with the unique form of burial of cinerary niches, method that saves considerable space in the grave. The project aims to rescue and consolidate the most iconic, symbolic and functional elements of the cemetery and provide it with a long-term growth plan, without breaking into the current regulations.
