About Saimyo Temple Reliģiska ēka

Saimyo templis ir reliģiska ēka, kas atrodas svētnīcas teritorijā Kurašiki pilsētā, Okajamas prefektūrā, Japānā. Dizainā uzsvērtas horizontālas līnijas. Divi jumti ar atšķirīgu augstumu piešķir būvei izteiksmīgu augstuma un apjoma sajūtu. Lēzeni slīpais jumts padara ēku zemāku par galveno templi. Jumts ir izgatavots no cinkota tērauda, ne no tradicionālajām jumta dakstiņu plāksnēm. Dziļas jumta apmales pasargā telpu iekšpusi no saules un aizsargā sienas no lietus. Plaša, stikla ietverta telpa piedāvā atvērtus skatus un mierpilnu vietu lūgšanām un meditācijai.

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.
Project Duration: Completed in Kurashiki Okayama in 2021.
Operation Flow: People avoided gathering in large numbers because of the pandemic.This religious institution was also turned into a small temple where only family and relatives could gather.
