he entire project was executed in precast concrete. In close collaboration with the architect, a high level of standardization of the constituent elements was pursued, making it possible to reduce costs and thereby ensure the project’s feasibility. The cantilevered concrete canopies are supported, on the one hand, by the separate and identical elements that together form the columbarium wall, and are, on the other hand, prevented from overturning by steel hollow sections anchored to the foundation slab, located at the rear between the back of the columbarium wall and the exposed masonry surrounding the pavilion.
