Landscaping for a graden of rememberance

Article Abstract:

Architects, John Pardey and Ronald Yee have won a competition for the landscaping of part of the Kensal Green cemetery, London, England. Kensal Green was establlished in 1832 and was arranged on classical lines. Pardey and Yee's design for the last two acres of the site reflects this in its geometric pattern. The designers have, however, rejected the traditional idea of rows of tombstones in favour of a series of 'burial courts'. Additional features include a sunken garden, statues and a cenotaph.
