RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design team pick out natural solid wood, red earth, mineral paint, and ironwork as the main construction materials. The quality of those materials does not look variegated and aged after being weathered through the years, other than sets off natural changing textures. We adopt the traditional truss structural scheme to set the main building and take advantage of the double layer roof included a covered ridge with sidewall openings to achieve indoor natural ventilation.
CHALLENGE: The design team are aware that the property owner is a devotee of Buddhism, and draw inspiration from his most beloved Buddhist scripture. They are inspired by the classics, comprehend the wisdom words, and transform the scriptures as the design text of the project. Starting from the Heart Sutra and returning to the Heart Sutra, the soul penetrates the architecture. The spirit of the place is established as well. The atmosphere of the project is full of Buddha-nature without any Buddha statue.
