About Inage Ryouen Костурница, Храм

Инаге Рјоен е спомен-градба која комбинира храм и механичка костурница во близина на Токио. Урбанизацијата и промените во структурата на семејствата предизвикаа недостиг на гробни места во градовите. Инаге Рјоен одговара на оваа потреба со внатрешно гробиште кое е лесно достапно за посета. Во конвенционалните механички гробишта, посмртните останки се чуваат во мали нишки, додека овде тие се сместени во подрумот под надгробен камен, како кај традиционален гроб. При градбата се користени камен, дрво и хартија. Салон, храм, соба за молитва и градина на покривот се распоредени на три ката.

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.

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
Project completed in 15/03/2018
Project Location: 3-7-5 Inage Higashi, Inage-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba, Japan
