About
The facade of the Temple is key to fostering interaction between the temple and the community.
Designed as a transparent yet protective barrier, it incorporates the circular Il Won Sang motif, symbolizing unity, and is made of 2×2 meter textile modules.
This choice allows natural light to permeate the space, creating a soft boundary between the sacred and the secular, while offering a calm, orderly contrast to the surrounding urban chaos.
