About The Entry

This project involves the design of a public religious space that aims to provide a serene and peaceful environment for visitors. The space comprises several areas, including an entrance foyer, a meeting room, an office, a porch, a stair hall, a bedroom, a worship space, a store room, a pantry, and a sitting area. The design focuses on using environmentally friendly technology and sustainable building materials to create a green and sustainable religious site that promotes environmental protection, community participation, and modern technology.

The use of wood as the spatial base of this case adds a natural touch to the space, infusing it with vitality and a Zen-like ambiance. The design emphasizes the close connection between man and nature, the mind and the universe. This connection is evident in the design of the Buddha Hall, which provides a peaceful and tranquil environment for inner meditation and exploration.

The design aims to have a long-term positive impact on future generations and their religious experience. By integrating environmental protection, religious experience, community participation, and modern technology, the space hopes to inspire visitors to appreciate and protect the environment while fostering a sense of community and spiritual growth.

This project has been designed with the intention of breaking away from the somewhat cold and impersonal atmosphere that is often associated with a typical Buddhist temple. In order to achieve this, a careful selection of natural building materials has been incorporated. These materials include dark-colored solid wood veneer, marble, water-molded lacquer, and titanium-plated iron parts. The combination of these materials creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, evoking a sense of intimacy within the space.

The selection of materials has also been carefully considered in order to symbolize the inclusive and diverse nature of humanity. The titanium-plated iron parts, for example, have been chosen to add a sense of dynamism to the space, much like the vibrant moments in life. This dynamic element is further emphasized by the use of diverse materials, which reflect the constantly changing nature of life.
