Text description provided by the architects. Bow-Yun Temple is located in the center of Taichung City. The building site is on an elongated rectangular lot which is slanted on the southeast corner. It can be accessed both on the north and the south. The north façade is facing the central axis aligned by City Government, City Council Building, and the City Park Mall. The south side merged into a low-rise residential area. The volume consists of two towers sharing a base podium– The 12-storey-tall north tower contains gallery, classrooms, conference center, and Guan-Yin temple on top floor. The 8-storey-tall south tower holds the meditation hall and living spaces for the monks. The 5-storey-tall podium functions as a multi-functional modern Buddhist temple, which accommodates large eventual spaces such as Reception Lobby, Dinning Hall, and Grand Buddha Hall.
