About Linkou Pure Land Бурханы танхим

Линькоу Цэвэр Орон нь заах, судар уншиж номлох, бясалгал хийхэд зориулан зохион бүтээгдсэн бурханы танхим юм. Танхим нь орон сууцны барилгын подвал давхарт байрлах бөгөөд ангийн өрөө, хүлээн авах хэсэг, гол танхим гэсэн хэсгүүдэд хуваагдана. Байгалийн наран гэрэл нь гүехэн давхраас шат хаалганы дундуур нэвтэрч ордог. Нүхэлсэн хээ бүхий хана болон шилэн хаалтууд орон зайг нээлттэй байлгах бол хулсан ландшафтын цонхнууд ургамлын мэдрэмжийг нэмж өгдөг. Тааз нь тэнгэрийн цонхыг дуурайлган гэрэлтүүлгийн тохируулгатай гэрэлтүүлэгтэй. Модны өнгө болон бетон гадаргуу нь дотоод орчинд тайван, цэвэр шинж чанарыг өгдөг. Барилгын талбайн хэмжээ 727 хавтгай метр юм.

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.

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.
