| Abstract. | Problem statement. This article examines the crematoria of the XX-XXI centuries as a facility of infernal architecture. Authors analyze the development of a type of crematorium, initially performing an exclusively utilitarian function, into a personalized space of repose, grief and memory. The purpose of the work is to collect and analyze the European experience in the design of cremation structures, to identify modern trends in the architecture of crematoria, as well as to study the influence of architectural space on the emotional state of the bereaved. Results. During the research we identified functional and technological model, which can serve as a basis for the organization of future cremation facilities; we formulated the tendencies of the space-planning organization of facilities and the adjacent territory, taking into account the psychological factor.

The significance of the research results for architecture and urban planning lies in the possibility of applying modern trends in the creation of sacred places in the city, a design that meets the social and psychological needs of a person, using modern technologies. |
