The Design

About Inage Ryouen Kolumbárium, chrám

Inage Ryouen je památeční budova poblíž Tokia, která spojuje chrám s mechanickým kolumbáriem. Urbanizace a proměny rodinné struktury způsobily nedostatek hrobových míst ve městech. Inage Ryouen na tuto potřebu reaguje vnitřním hřbitovem, který je snadné navštívit. Zatímco v běžných mechanických hřbitovech jsou ostatky uloženy v malých výklencích, zde jsou uchovávány v podzemí pod náhrobkem, podobně jako u tradičního hrobu. Při výstavbě byly použity kámen, dřevo a papír. Na třech podlažích jsou umístěny salonek, chrám, modlitebna a střešní zahrada.

Unique Properties: Inage ryouen is the first grave-type mechanical ossuary in Japan and it is a memorial architecture for bereaved families to conduct the funeral ceremony and pay their respect.
Change in lifestyle and urbanization creates a need for a change from a traditional local graveyard to an easy access urban ossuary.
Inage ryouen is a solution to the urban grave shortage, and memorial halls that are easy to visit. It has been designed so that it does not feel like a machine, and this indoor cemetery is as close as possible to a traditional grave site.
Dimensions & Packaging: It is located around Tokyo, 1440 square meters in area, 2740 square meters in floor space, 3 stories above the steel frame. The garden and the ossuary are arranged on the roof, the second floor is a temple and the first floor is a lounge.
Lounge, Temple, Rooftop Garden and Worship Room with distinct functions on each floor for stress-free funerals and memorial services.

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.
