Microscape uses stone-filled cages to update Italian cemetery

Cemetery Castel San Gimignano has been renovated by Italian architecture studio Microscape using local limestone stacked in metal baskets.
The church of Castel di San Gimignano, a medieval town in the Tuscan countryside, was built before the 14th century. Microscape, a studio based in Lucca, designed the update to its cemetery with as light a touch as possible.The architects added dry stone walls in the form of gabions – the metal baskets filled with rocks normally used for erosion control
