The Design

About Saimyo Temple Bangunan Keagamaan

Kuil Saimyo adalah sebuah bangunan keagamaan yang terletak di kawasan kuil di Bandar Kurashiki, Wilayah Okayama, Jepun. Reka bentuknya menekankan garis mendatar. Dua bumbung dengan ketinggian berbeza memberikan struktur ini rasa ketinggian dan volum. Bumbung yang condong secara lembut mengekalkan bangunan ini pada aras yang lebih rendah berbanding kuil utama. Bumbung ini diperbuat daripada keluli bergalvani berbanding jubin tradisional. Cucur atap yang dalam melindungi bahagian dalaman daripada cahaya matahari serta melindungi dinding daripada hujan. Sebuah ruang luas yang berdinding kaca menawarkan pemandangan terbuka dan suasana tenang untuk berdoa dan bermeditasi.

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.
