建筑师提供的文字说明。Sayama湖畔墓地对各种宗教和教派开放。它位于邻近于水源涵养林的一个自然丰富的环境中，并且该网站本身位于森林深处。我设想了一种建筑，它反映了生命的生活方式，因为它是由森林保存的水生活的，最终在死亡后返回到这个地方。于是，我发现森林是与各种宗教相互交流的祈祷主题，并概念化了一种在被树木包围的同时将光线投射到森林的建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. Sayama Lakeside Cemetery is open to various religions and denominations.  It is located in a nature-rich environment adjacent to the water conservation forest, and the site itself is in front of a deep forest. I envisioned an architecture that reflects on the way of life as it lives by the water conserved by the forest, and eventually returns to this place after death.  Thereupon, I found the forest to be the subject of prayer that is mutual to various religions and conceptualized an architecture that prays to the forest while surrounded by trees.

该地点是一小块三角形的土地，毗邻一条交通流量低的市政道路和一条几乎没有行人的非法律街道。因此，我决定创造一个空间，致力于森林的存在是超越的，通过向内倾斜墙，以避免树枝和树叶。它形成了一种传统的日本气垫式结构，它是由两根斜梁在各个方向上相互支撑而成的三维结构。屋顶上覆盖着铸铝瓦片，上面有波纹状的纹理，每一块都是由工匠手工制作的。

The site is a small triangular plot of land that is adjacent to a municipal road with a low traffic and a non-legal street with almost no pedestrian.  Therefore, I have decided to create a space that devotes to the forest that is transcendent in its existence, by tilting the wall inward to avoid the tree branches and leaves.  It forms a traditional Japanese Gassho- style structure composed three-dimensionally as two leaning beams set against each other are developed in every direction.  The roof is covered with cast-aluminum tiles with ripple-like textures each made by hands of craftsmen.

向森林倾斜1厘米的地板引导人们朝离开的方向和向前弯曲的姿势祈祷。石板的图案和接缝朝向森林深处的消失点延伸，以帮助集中精神集中在森林上。当一条光线时，当手指轻轻接合时，在双手内产生一个小的温暖空间。仿佛祈祷的小空间被取出来形成建筑。正如人们祈祷的那样，建筑也是如此。对于那些深陷悲伤和安慰的人来说，建筑如何培养他们？有鉴于此，我设计了那些轻轻地围绕着他们的建筑，并支持他们的意图。

The floor inclined towards the forest by 1 centimeter guides people towards the departed and the forward bending posture for praying.  The patterns and seams of the slate extend towards the vanishing point deep into the forest to help one concentrate the mind on the forest. When one prays, a small warm space is created within the hands as the fingers gently join. It seems as if that small space of prayer was taken out to form the architecture.  As people pray, so does the architecture.  For those who are in deep grief and inconsolable, how can architecture nurture them?  With this in mind, I designed buildings that gently surround them and support their intentions.
