About Saimyo Temple Godsdienstige Gebou
Saimyo-tempel is 'n godsdienstige gebou geleë op die terrein van 'n tempel in Kurashiki-stad, Okayama-prefektuur, Japan. Die ontwerp beklemtoon horisontale lyne. Twee dakke van verskillende hoogtes gee die struktuur 'n gevoel van hoogte en volume. 'n Liggies hellende dak hou die gebou laer as die hooftempel. Die dak is gemaak van gegalvaniseerde staal eerder as tradisionele teëls. Diep dakrande beskadu die interieur en beskerm die mure teen reën. 'n Ruim, met glas omslote vertrek bied oop uitsigte en 'n stil plek vir gebed en meditasie.

It is It has not only a functional meaning such as adjusting solar radiation according to the season or protecting the exterior walls in rainy areas but also a psychological meaning such as the comfort of being under the eaves. For this reason we designed the space with wide eaves so that visitors can relax.
