About Linkou Pure Land Búddahöll
Linkou Pure Land er búddahöll hönnuð fyrir kennslu, sönglestur og hugleiðslu. Höllin er staðsett í kjallara íbúðarhúss og skiptist í kennslustofu, móttökusvæði og aðalsal. Náttúrulegt sólarljós berst inn um stigaganginn frá jarðhæð. Veggir með götuðu mynstri og glerskilrúm halda rýminu opnu, á meðan gluggar með bambúslandslagi bæta við gróðurlegri tilfinningu. Loftin bera dimmanlega lýsingu sem líkir eftir þakglugga. Viðartónar og steinsteypuflötur gefa innra rýminu rólegan og hreinan karakter. Byggingarsvæðið er 727 fermetrar.

- 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.

- 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.
