Inage Ryouen Crematorium and Temple
Inage Ryouen Crematorium and Temple
Inage Ryouen is a memorial building that combines a temple and a mechanical ossuary near Tokyo. Urbanization and changing family structures have created a shortage of graves in cities. Inage Ryouen answers this need with an indoor cemetery that is easy to visit. In conventional mechanical cemeteries the remains are kept in small niches, while here the remains are stored in the basement under a tombstone, as in a traditional grave. Stone, wood and paper were used in the construction. A lounge, a temple, a worship room and a rooftop garden are arranged on three floors.
