This Recomposting Temple Complex is where human bodies can not only be composted, but also where bodies can be ceremonially received, prepared, and honorifically "sent off" to the recomposting islands just off-shore from the temple. The originating conceit of the project is that while the science of human body recomposting is well developed, we don't yet have a cognizant and matching 21st century social epistemology for recomposting, that can be celebrated with an appropriate honorific ritual practice, which of course needs to be staged upon a suitably rich, ritual architecture. OUR project aspires to do just that, joining the work of others in this field.
