About Saimyo Temple Religioosne ehitis

Saimyo tempel on religioosne ehitis, mis asub templi maa-alal Kurashiki linnas, Okayama prefektuuris, Jaapanis. Kujundus rõhutab horisontaaljooni. Kaks erineva kõrgusega katust annavad hoonele kõrguse ja mahukuse tunde. Kergelt kalduv katus hoiab hoone peatemplist madalamana. Katus on valmistatud galvaniseeritud terasest, mitte traditsioonilistest katusekividest. Sügavad räästad varjavad siseruume ja kaitsevad seinu vihma eest. Avar klaasseintega ruum pakub avaraid vaateid ja vaikset paika palvetamiseks ja mediteerimiseks.

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.
