The design of the columbarium, a repository for 50,000 remains, placed within walled courtyards, is characterized by dignity, repose and connection to nature. The buildings are long and thin creating short aisles perpendicular to the primary circulation offering visitors both variety and continuous directional paths.
The configuration ensures direct views to the valley and privacy from the primary circulation. The design accomodates as many as 30,000 daily visitors and provides for diverse observations of mourning and rememberance.
