The Design

About Saimyo Temple Relihiyosong Gusali

Ang Saimyo Temple ay isang relihiyosong gusali na matatagpuan sa lugar ng isang templo sa Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Binibigyang-diin ng disenyo ang mga pahalang na linya. Ang dalawang bubong na may magkaibang taas ay nagbibigay sa istruktura ng pakiramdam ng taas at dami. Ang isang mahinahong dahilig na bubong ay nagpapanatili sa gusali na mas mababa kaysa sa pangunahing templo. Ang bubong ay gawa sa galvanized steel sa halip na tradisyonal na mga tisa. Ang malalalim na alero ay nagbibigay-lilim sa loob at nagpoprotekta sa mga dingding mula sa ulan. Ang isang malawak na silid na may saradong salamin ay nag-aalok ng bukas na tanawin at isang tahimik na lugar para sa panalangin at meditasyon.

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: People avoided gathering in large numbers because of the pandemic.This religious institution was also turned into a small temple where only family and relatives could gather.
