Gion A. Caminada
The Totenstube or Stiva da morts in Vrin, Switzerland
- ... that Swiss architect Gion A. Caminada designed a Totenstube or Stiva da morts ("death room"; pictured) for Vrin, his native village? Sources: 1) "‘Stiva da morts’ – a community mortuary building and not merely a room or hall for viewing the deceased..."; and 2) "The “Stiva” offers space for the dead and the living. With its novel sequence of rooms, the death room makes a change in the way of dealing with death possible." - translated from the original German: "Die «Stiva» bietet Raum für die Toten und die Lebenden. Mit ihrer neuartigen Raumabfolge, macht die Totenstube einen Wandel in der Umgangsweise mit dem Tod erst möglich."; and 3) "Hailing from Graubünden, the same Swiss canton as fellow architect Peter Zumthor, Gion A Caminada has built little outside of his native region and instead focussed much of his life's work on the village of Vrin, where he established his studio in the late 1970s."

- Comment: This is my third nomination so technically don't yet need QPQ, but I'm trying to be a good Wikipedian.

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The image is suitably licensed. Please could you provide a citation for the two uncited awards. Thank you for doing a QPQ. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:55, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- Good catch, thanks Cwmhiraeth. I've found citations for those awards and updated the article accordingly. Hportfacts5 (talk) 13:38, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. This is good to go with either hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:26, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe ALT1 is best given that it's hookier / punchier. Hportfacts5 (talk) 21:17, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
