About Saimyo Temple Verska građevina
Sajmjo hram je verska građevina koja se nalazi na prostoru hrama u gradu Kurašiki, u prefekturi Okajama u Japanu. Dizajn naglašava horizontalne linije. Dva krova različitih visina daju strukturi osećaj visine i zapremine. Blago nagnut krov čini da zgrada bude niža od glavnog hrama. Krov je izrađen od pocinkovanog čelika umesto tradicionalnih crepova. Duboke strehe zasenjuju enterijer i štite zidove od kiše. Prostrana staklena prostorija pruža otvorene poglede i miran prostor za molitvu i meditaciju.

- 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.

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