| Abstract: |
A religious building containing a space for prayer has been constructed in Öta City, Gunma Prefecture, which is noted for its heat in summer due to the foehn phenomenon and its cold in winter due to downdraft winds from the mountains. The site is in a quiet residential area on a gentle slope from the mountain towards the urban area, so the building has a gently sloping large roof to minimize the impact on the surroundings. The large roof has a special form with a 3-dimensional free-form surface. The large roof is supported by a reinforced concrete wall structure. |
