About
I’m Beatrice Tartaglini, a 26-year-old architect originally from Rome. I moved to the UK at 19 to pursue my passion for architecture, completing my undergraduate studies at De Montfort University in Leicester. I then earned a Master of Science in Sustainable Architecture Studies from the University of Sheffield, followed by a Master of Architecture from the Manchester School of Architecture. My work is deeply influenced by my fascination with the psychological impact of architecture—how design can evoke different emotions and influence mental well-being. I’ve written two dissertations exploring the relationship between architecture and anxiety disorders, examining how spaces can either contribute to or alleviate mental health struggles. My thesis project reimagines the Southern Cemetery in Manchester, proposing a shift in the perception of death from a tragic, irreversible event to a more cyclical and less somber concept. Through my work, I aim to create spaces that not only serve practical purposes but also foster meaningful emotional connections for their users.
Terra Vitae Morte is a visionary project designed by Eve Davies, master landscape student and me, addressing the growing burial space crisis in the UK. Set in Manchester's Southern Cemetery, it reimagines the cemetery as a sustainable, inclusive space that serves both the living and the deceased. By blending parkland and memorial areas, the project challenges traditional views of death, proposing a more cyclical and interconnected concept of life and death. Through four sanctuaries representing the stages of grief, nature guides visitors on an emotional healing journey, while the design fosters biodiversity, combats urban sprawl, and offers a forward-thinking approach to cemetery land use.
