CHORAKU-JI 'ZAZEN' HALL

摘要

The project is a zazen hall for Churaku-Ji. a 400-year-old temple of the Soto sect located on the banks of the Abukuma River in Fukushima City. The owner wishes to use modern technology to construct a new zazen hall that harmonizes with both the temple s old wooden buildings and the greenery on the premises. We have created a tranquil and highly spiritual space by interpreting in a modern context such traditional architectural elements as the deep shade created by a grand roof, the high floor structure, the fusion between building and nature, the dynamic beauty of the structure, etc.
