Summary

The Preliminary Draft International Contest held in 1984 for the new San Sebastian cemetery was the occasion for Oteiza to reach, in this town, the magical equation tested without success in Montevideo 30 years before with the project of the Monument to Batlle Ordóñez. The Ametzagaña hill was the place on which to materialise a -compromised- Monumentality as a spatial solution that was to be apt for residence by human beings.
