Outside the water temple

This is the picture of (supposedly) the longest suspended structure bridge in the world, connecting Honshu island with Awaji island. Fantastic, eh?


What is so special about Water Temple? Well, firstly, it is beautiful, and famous. And best of all, is that this temple was designed by Tadao Ando, who most architecture students familiar with his works as they paint the scene of Japanese contemporary architecture up till today. This next picture is three tones used by Ando to create the peaceful atmosphere within the space. Simple, yet rich with meaning.


A composition of elements, try a bit playful with the angle. Thought that will make it more interesting.


The curving path, following the round form of the wall. This path take you in a half circle walk around the outer side of the temple, seeing the "nothingness" presented here. Two pictures above shown a glimpse about it.


This one is, well, another playtime with the angle. Oh, how I love to play with it. Hahaha.
Next, is the stairs, taking you up to heaven after finished cleansing your sins.


OK, that is the final picture, to sum it up. An architecture that blends with nature, creating a nuance of harmony, bring peace upon your heart. Hahaha. Thank you for stay tuned.
