The Design

About Inage Ryouen Ossário, Templo

Inage Ryouen é um edifício memorial que combina um templo e um ossário mecanizado nas proximidades de Tóquio. A urbanização e as mudanças na estrutura familiar geraram uma escassez de sepulturas nas cidades. O Inage Ryouen responde a essa necessidade com um cemitério interno de fácil visitação. Nos cemitérios mecanizados convencionais, os restos mortais são guardados em pequenos nichos; aqui, porém, ficam armazenados no subsolo, sob uma lápide, como em um túmulo tradicional. Pedra, madeira e papel foram empregados na construção. Um lounge, um templo, uma sala de culto e um jardim na cobertura distribuem-se por três pavimentos.

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.

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.
