| dc.description.abstract | This thesis design explores the integration of traditional temple architecture with modern design principles. The study focuses on reinterpreting and modernizing traditional elements using contemporary materials and building techniques, while still preserving traditional religious culture and elements. The research commences with the analysis of traditional temple architecture, encompassing aspects such as spatial layout, key elements, and architectural techniques. It then delves into various methods of integrating these traditional features with modern elements. The design shows how traditional temple architecture can be modernized to fit today's urban environments. By blending time-tested designs with contemporary innovations, can create spaces that honor the past while serving the present and future. | en |
