About Saimyo Temple Trano Fivavahana
Ny tempoly Saimyo dia trano fivavahana miorina ao amin'ny tokotanin'ny tempoly ao an-tanànan'i Kurashiki, Faritanin'i Okayama, Japon. Ny endriky ny drafitra dia manasongadina ny tsipika mitsivalana. Tafo roa misy haavony samihafa no manome ilay rafitra endrika avo sy be habaka. Tafo mientanentana malemy no mahatonga ny trano ho ambany kokoa noho ny tempoly lehibe. Vy sy simenitra volomparasy (galvanized steel) no fanaovana ny tafo fa tsy tafo tanimanga nentin-drazana. Fialofana lalina no manalefaka ny hazavana ao anatiny sady miaro ny rindrina amin'ny orana. Efitra midadasika sy voarakotra fitaratra no manome fahitana malalaka sy toerana mangina ho an'ny fivavahana sy ny fisaintsainana.

- 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.

Additionally I thought of creating a peaceful space for prayer and meditation.
