Kyoto's Nishi Hongan ji Reception Hall

A Fusion of Modern Architecture and Traditional Landscape 🍃🌸 Takamatsu Shin fully considered the existing layout of Nishi Honganji's temple complex in this project. By adopting an underground architectural approach, he skillfully integrated the old with the new. This modern structure neither disrupts the visual harmony of the traditional temple nor compromises the multifunctional needs of contemporary society. 🍃🌸 The reception hall not only serves the mission of spreading the Dharma and disseminating information but also stands as a successful example of the coexistence of modern architectural concepts and traditional religious culture. The gallery, an integral part of the building, is specifically designed to display the treasured relics of the sect and also offers special exhibitions on related history and culture. 🍃🌸 This space not only provides followers with a deeper understanding of religious culture but also allows visitors to experience the unique charm of Japanese architecture in a tranquil environment. 📍 754 Tokyouma - cho, Shimogyo - ku, Kyoto 📷 RICOH GR2 #ArchitecturePilgrimage #Architecture #Design 🌟
