Abstract

An archetype as a reflection of the collective unconscious can materialize as a symbol which acts upon the conscious mind. Although rooted in the past, it fuels architects’ creativity in the reinterpretation of images from mythology and symbolism. This timeless aspect of archetypes provides continuity and success in a multilayered communication that can be found in the analyzed examples of modern cemetery architecture.
