First Prize, 35th Taiwan Architecture Award─Water-Moon Monastery

2013
After on-site visits of 11 finalists, Water-Moon Monastery has granted the First Prize of the "2013 Taiwan Architecture Award". This year the juries include Japanese Architect Norihiko Dan, and four Taiwanese Architects, Yi Yong Yang, Malone Chang, Shu-Ting Li, and Hua-Shan Guan. The juries commented that though the Water-Moon Monastery is a religious project, it transcends religious and nonreligious tastes. The open spatial design is welcoming, with an abstract presentation of light and shadow giving visitors a sense of serenity.
