About Saimyo Temple Религиозна сграда

Храмът Saimyo е религиозна сграда, разположена на територията на храмов комплекс в град Курашики, префектура Окаяма, Япония. Дизайнът набляга на хоризонталните линии. Два покрива с различна височина придават на конструкцията усещане за височина и обем. Полегато наклоненият покрив запазва сградата по-ниска от главния храм. Покривът е изработен от поцинкована стомана, а не от традиционни керемиди. Дълбоките стрехи засенчват вътрешното пространство и предпазват стените от дъжд. Просторно остъклено помещение предлага открити гледки и тихо място за молитва и медитация.

Design Challenge: The client wanted the architecture to be unobstructed by buildings. The building was to be constructed a little lower than the main temple. A gently sloping roof was adopted to keep the height low.
Research: One of the features of this temple's design is its deep eaves. In traditional Japanese architecture these eaves are of great importance. 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.
Inspiration: When I first visited this place I was amazed by the stunning view and refreshing breeze. I had an idea of building a spacious room enclosed in glass where one could enjoy the beautiful surroundings without compromising on comfort. Additionally I thought of creating a peaceful space for prayer and meditation.
