The Vern-sur-Seiche Crematorium

Click on the image at the left to view a gallery of photos of the a crematorium in France that is described as;

"...it appears as a great disk floating in the middle of a forest clearing. The circular shape, symbolizing the beginning and the end, is a recurrent theme throughout the spatial configuration. It allows for free philosophical, religious or cultural interpretation. Completely non-denominational and easily accessible to all, the building ritualizes one of life’s sad but unavoidable moments. In this very particular and stimulating context, the group of agencies PLAN01 got the opportunity to work on the crematorium project in Vern-sur-Seiche. The innovative organisation of the group- 4 architecture agencies sharing a same workspace and working together on important projects – results in a relevevant architectural answer."
