About Saimyo Temple Edificio religioso
El Templo Saimyo es un edificio religioso situado en el recinto de un templo en la ciudad de Kurashiki, prefectura de Okayama, Japón. El diseño enfatiza las líneas horizontales. Dos cubiertas de alturas distintas confieren a la estructura una sensación de altura y volumen. Una cubierta de pendiente suave mantiene el edificio más bajo que el templo principal. El tejado está realizado en acero galvanizado en lugar de las tejas tradicionales. Los aleros profundos dan sombra al interior y protegen los muros de la lluvia. Una amplia sala acristalada ofrece vistas despejadas y un lugar sereno para la oración y la meditación.

- 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

Additionally I thought of creating a peaceful space for prayer and meditation.
