For a time it seemed, architects just tried to bludgeon emotion out of you with monolithic forms and massive scale; these students try to draw it out softly, but vividly, using nothing but cracks in the wall.

I think projects like these are a good way for students to find the essence of an architectural endeavor. I was recently in Japan, and I've determined that designing a small space that has as much impact as a large, over-designed space is infinitely more difficult but not lacking in any richness. Not only that, it seems the process these students went through is something that a lot of projects on this site would benefit going through. Absolutely beautiful.

Encompassing what a temple is, regardless of what/who it is to or for. hmmm great fun, i like the idea of this project, really simple and personal considerations.
