About Saimyo Temple Edifici Religiós
El Temple Saimyo és un edifici religiós situat als terrenys d'un temple a la ciutat de Kurashiki, prefectura d'Okayama, Japó. El disseny emfatitza les línies horitzontals. Dues teulades d'alçades diferents confereixen a l'estructura una sensació d'alçada i volum. Una teulada de suau pendent manté l'edifici més baix que el temple principal. La teulada està feta d'acer galvanitzat en lloc de les teules tradicionals. Els ràfecs profunds proporcionen ombra a l'interior i protegeixen les parets de la pluja. Una espaiosa sala envidrada ofereix vistes obertes i un lloc tranquil per a la pregària i la meditació.

- 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
