About Inage Ryouen Ossario, Tempio
Inage Ryouen è un edificio commemorativo che unisce un tempio e un ossario meccanizzato nei pressi di Tokyo. L'urbanizzazione e il mutare delle strutture familiari hanno determinato una carenza di sepolture nelle città. Inage Ryouen risponde a questa esigenza con un cimitero al coperto, facile da visitare. Nei cimiteri meccanizzati convenzionali le ceneri sono conservate in piccole nicchie, mentre qui vengono custodite nel piano interrato sotto una lapide, come in una tomba tradizionale. Nella costruzione sono stati impiegati pietra, legno e carta. Una lounge, un tempio, una sala per il culto e un giardino sul tetto si distribuiscono su tre livelli.

- Production Technology
- Conventional mechanical cemeteries have a small niche/ locker columbarium, whereas here the remains are stored under the tombstone. We developed a new system with Toyota L&F that allows us to secure storage space in the basement, just like traditional graves.
Natural materials such as stone, wood, and paper were used for the construction, architectural and interior design such as furniture, signage, gravestone materials, and also transport systems. - Inspiration
- In Japan, with the aging of baby boomers, the number of deaths has doubled from 1980 to 2020, and has exceeded 1.3 million.
Also, due to the low birthrate and aging population, urbanization, and change in family structure, there is a growing need for a solution to the shortage of graves in urban areas and memorial halls that are easy to visit and respect individuality. - Project Duration
