About Inage Ryouen Kaburi la Mifupa, Hekalu

Inage Ryouen ni jengo la ukumbusho linalounganisha hekalu na kaburi la mifupa la kimekaniki karibu na Tokyo. Ukuaji wa miji na mabadiliko ya muundo wa familia yamesababisha uhaba wa makaburi mijini. Inage Ryouen inajibu hitaji hili kwa kutoa makaburi ya ndani ambayo ni rahisi kutembelea. Katika makaburi ya kawaida ya kimekaniki, mabaki huhifadhiwa katika sehemu ndogo zilizowekwa, lakini hapa mabaki huhifadhiwa chini ya ardhi chini ya jiwe la kaburi, kama katika kaburi la kimapokeo. Jiwe, mbao na karatasi vilitumika katika ujenzi. Sebule, hekalu, chumba cha ibada na bustani ya juu ya paa vimepangwa katika ghorofa tatu.

Unique Properties

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
