Aldo Rossi9s Modena cemetery design of 1971 has been one of the most widely discussed architectural projects of the past decade. Now under construction, on the basis of a revised plan of 1976, Rossi9s cemetery demonstrates his use of established architectural types, in unexpected combinations, to convey specific ideas about architecture and life. Some critics, such as Manfredo Tafuri, have taken the view that the meaning of Rossi9s design cannot be verbalized. This article seeks to demonstrate that the opposite is the case. Here, Rossi9s sources and writings are explored in tandem, in order to unravel the complex message contained in his cemetery design. In particular, Rossi9s debts to Piranesi, Boullee. Loos, Hannes Meyer, Le Corbusier, and de Chirico are discussed. In addition, Rossi9s uses of architectural types, autobiographical elements, and an anthropomorphic image are considered. Ultimately, the cemetery exemplifies Rossi9s idea that architecture has a particular importance because it remains, through time, as a testament to humanity.
