About Saimyo Temple Verska stavba
Tempelj Saimyo je verska stavba, ki se nahaja na območju templja v mestu Kurashiki, v prefekturi Okayama na Japonskem. Zasnova poudarja vodoravne linije. Dve strehi različnih višin dajeta stavbi občutek višine in prostornine. Rahlo nagnjena streha ohranja stavbo nižjo od glavnega templja. Streha je izdelana iz pocinkanega jekla namesto tradicionalnih strešnikov. Globoke strehe senčijo notranjost in ščitijo stene pred dežjem. Prostorna, s steklom obdana soba ponuja odprte poglede in miren prostor za molitev in meditacijo.

- 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.
