The Design
About Saimyo Temple 종교 건축물
사이묘지(西明寺)는 일본 오카야마현 구라시키시의 사찰 경내에 자리한 종교 건축물이다. 설계는 수평선을 강조한다. 높이가 다른 두 개의 지붕이 건물에 높이감과 볼륨감을 부여한다. 완만한 경사의 지붕은 건물을 본당보다 낮게 유지시킨다. 지붕은 전통 기와 대신 아연도금 강판으로 마감되었다. 깊은 처마는 실내에 그늘을 드리우고 벽면을 비로부터 보호한다. 넓은 유리로 둘러싸인 공간은 탁 트인 조망과 함께 기도와 명상을 위한 고요한 장소를 제공한다.

The design is modern and emphasizes horizontality. - 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.
