An ossuary attached to a temple. The precast concrete frame is covered with a dry stone exterior for long-term durability and fire resistance. In consideration of flood damage, the building was lifted up to allow light and wind to enter through the gaps between the floor and walls. The roof is covered with Corten steel to protect the frame and ensure ventilation. There is no insulation, glazing, air conditioning, or electrical equipment, and no caulked joints. It is a concrete and steel construction without cracks.
