Abstract
Fundación Cementerio de San Pedro (San Pedro Cemetery Foundation). It has as priority function: the management of the Cemetery of San Pedro, facility located in the city of Medellín, in Antioquia County. Recognizing the influence that the Cemetery has had for more than one and a half century of existence in several transformation processes of the city; in 1996 the Foundation promoted its recuperation looking for new protection and recovery policies, the same as new functioning and revitalization alternatives for the Cemetery, in order that it would remain as a testimony of representative historical moments, rescued for the memory of all who wanted to enjoy the building. In order to prepare the basic elements which originated the proposal of the cemetery recuperation, a careful reading took place where the material and immaterial components comprising the space of death were merged and the new urban planning model for the Colombian municipalities was studied (defined by Act 388 of 1997) “The Organic Act for Territorial Ordering”, where the different aspects of the cemetery were well thought-out, not only the location but also the social, political and economical conditions of the Antioquia Society throughout history, which gave the conditions that originated this building.
