Abstract
An architecture magazine has to deal with disciplinary issues also starting from the contingent reality. In this period, deeply marked by the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic, it appeared right, after the double issue Coronavirus City Architecture. Perspectives of the architectural and urban project, to go back to doing something.
A consequence of the pandemic documented by images that have traveled around the world was the cancellation of the funeral rite of death which took place in many countries. From this reflection (and from the sharing and discussion of the theme with the editorial staff) this issue is born which aims to underline (and remember) that architecture is inherent in death and the rituality connected to it no less than many other central spaces in the life of the individual.
