The design of this new crematorium, established at the back of the existing old and facility-limited crematorium, attempted to focus on the representation of the life and death in an architectural space. To ensure pious delivery and processing of bodies, it is designed so that each process of the cremating event takes place at separate places. Given the fact that this is the most sacred ceremony, the inner spaces are at times simplified or magnified intentionally as needed in accordance with each cremation process. Each space brings about the image of continuity as it is placed where the light and the shade meets, which ultimately emphasizes the value of the life.
