About Linkou Pure Land Halla Búda

Is halla Búda é Talamh Íon Linkou atá deartha le haghaidh teagaisc, cantaireachta, agus machnaimh. Tá an halla suite ar urlár íoslaigh d'fhoirgneamh árasán agus tá sé roinnte ina sheomra ranga, ina limistéar fáiltithe, agus sa phríomhhalla. Tagann solas nádúrtha na gréine isteach tríd an staighre ón urlár talún. Coinníonn ballaí patrúnaithe polla agus scáileáin ghloine an spás oscailte, agus cuireann fuinneoga tírdhreacha bambú blas luibheolaíoch leis. Tá soilsiú indéimeáilte sna síleálacha a chuireann spéirléas i gcosúlacht. Tugann tonaí adhmaid agus dromchlaí coincréite carachtar ciúin, íon don spás inmheánach. Is é 727 méadar cearnach achar an tógála.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The Buddha Hall is a place where masters give speeches and adherents gather for sharing teachings, chanting scriptures, and undergoing mindful meditation. Believing every religious gathering place contributes to social and spiritual well-being, this project design aspires to have a positive impact on the society and community. Aligned with the core beliefs and the figurative representation of the Pure Land, the design focuses on creating a space that feels pure, tranquil, and primitive.
Dimensions & Packaging: Construction area 727 square meter.
Tags: Interior architects, Buddha hall, purity, lightness
Production Technology: To accommodate various activities, the space is planned out and primarily divided into a classroom, a reception area, and the main hall. Notably, transparent elements like glass screens and hollow-patterned walls maintain a consistent flow of space, offering adherents and neighboring residents a peaceful retreat from concerns and stress.
Design Challenge: Rather than a prominent storefront location, the site situated on the basement floor of a condominium building inherits a sense of darkness due to poor daylighting, ventilation, and air circulation. Thus, to erase the oppressive impression and to forge a breezy entrance, natural sunlight penetrates the basement through the stairway from the ground floor. The wall, patterned with hollow designs, intertwine with bamboo landscaping windows, infusing a refreshing botanical vibe into both the reception area and the main worship hall.
Research: The site construction is divided into two phases, and this project represents the first phase, including a classroom, a reception area, and the main hall, catering to the needs of all adult demographics. Meanwhile, this Buddha hall is prepared to be connected to a children's reading area with a capacity for 60 children during the coming phase construction, which will collectively offer the community with a safe, culturally enriched, and parent-child friendly space.
Inspiration: This hall is affiliated with the branch of Mahayana Buddhism, focused on achieving rebirth in the Pure Land of Bliss. One of the fundamental principles in this religion is that faith, aspiration, and practice are the three provisions for reaching rebirth in the Pure Land of the Buddha Amitabha. Drawing inspiration from the concept of the Pure Land, the entire space is imbued with a sense of dignity and tranquility.
Project Duration: Linkou District, Taipei city.
Operation Flow: Despite its basement location, the Buddha hall doesn't feel confined, preserving all its spatial utility functions while ensuring an even and naturally moderate lighting. The ceilings are cladded with dimmable lighting devices, simulating a skylight effect and reflecting the notion of 'may the Buddha's light shine' depicted in the Buddha scriptures. Additionally, the flooring features wood tones, and the backdrops incorporate concrete elements, imbuing the space with a sense of natural purity that complements the main hall solemnity.
