SHINNYO EN RELIGIOUS CENTER

DESIGNED BY KAJIMA ASSOCIATES + TAEIK KIM

The religious center is designed with simple materials that speak with a loud mind. It is inviting and speaks universal wisdom and compassion that tries to help the members reach Nirvana. The play of light on the different materiality of the building emphasizes spatial and visual experience, as it reflects play on light and dark, transparent and opaque, and solid and void.
