About Saimyo Temple Náboženská budova

Chrám Saimyo je náboženská budova umiestnená na pozemku chrámu v meste Kurašiki, v prefektúre Okajama v Japonsku. Návrh zdôrazňuje horizontálne linky. Dve strechy rôznej výšky dodávajú stavbe pocit výšky a objemu. Mierne sa zvažujúca strecha udržuje budovu nižšiu než hlavný chrám. Strecha je vyrobená z pozinkovanej ocele, nie z tradičných škridiel. Hlboké odkvapy zatieňujú interiér a chránia stены pred dažďom. Priestranná sklom uzavretá miestnosť ponúka otvorené výhľady a pokojné miesto na modlitbu a meditáciu.

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
