This monumental Brutalist-style cemetery is the first and largest experimentation of modern architecture applied to the funerary field, and yet remains unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÍtala Fulvia Villa (1913-1991), the project’s forgotten architect, was one of Argentina's first female architects and urban planners. As a pioneer of South American modernism, she contributed to Le Corbusier's master plan for Buenos Aires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixty years later, the French architect Léa Namer discovers the Sexto Panteón and resurrects the name of its creator, carrying out an in-depth investigation of this unique modern cemetery. This book is a thoughtful and engaging reflection on the legacy of a modern utopia, as well as a feminist re-reading of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 224\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 220 × 290 mm\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Softcover\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English, French\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2023\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Building Books\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Building Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40888609538133,"sku":"BBCT1243","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/5749\/files\/1_ba937edd-33ed-4ddd-bb22-7a713e1ba228.jpg?v=1725364303","url":"https:\/\/www.northeastshop.com\/en\/products\/the-brutalist-necropolis-of-buenos-aires","provider":"North East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
