About Saimyo Temple Foirgneamh Reiligiúnach

Is foirgneamh reiligiúnach é Teampall Saimyo atá lonnaithe ar thailte teampaill i gCathair Kurashiki, i Réigiún Okayama, sa tSeapáin. Cuireann an dearadh béim ar línte cothrománacha. Tugann dhá dhíon ar airde éagsúla aer d'airde agus de thoirt don struchtúr. Coimeádann díon a shleamhnaíonn go réidh an foirgneamh níos ísle ná an príomh-theampall. Tá an díon déanta de chruach ghalfánaithe seachas na tíleanna traidisiúnta. Scáthaíonn scairbh dhomhain an t-áitreabh laistigh agus cosnaíonn siad na ballaí ón bhfearthainn. Tugann seomra fairsing atáluaite le gloine amharcanna oscailte agus áit chiúin do phaidreoireacht agus do mhachnamh.

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.
