From Antiquity onwards the tomb as a funerary monument depicts the house of the dead, taken to be our last resting place. The tomb also reflects mankind's beliefs and attitudes when faced with death. Despite living in a period that copes with death by trying to hide it, the architecture of the 20th century has always taken an interest in the issue and has made significant contributions to the language of funerary architecture. The Last House brings together a selection of 60 tombs, little-known, small-scale interventions which demonstrate the wide variety of schemes designed by architects from the beginning of the century until now.
