The serenity of the mission is embedded in the buildings. It seems complete.” 24 Oculus Summer 2013 HANRAHANMEYERS ARCHITECTS DESIGN TEAM: Thomas Hanrahan, RA, NCARB, Victoria Meyers, RA, AIA, LEED GA, Anita Ng, AIA, LEED AP INTERIOR DESIGNER & CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE: Myonggi Sul Design LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT: Seo An Landscape LIGHTING DESIGN: Light and Space Associates STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS: Wayman C. Wing Consulting Engineers; Hage Engineering M/E/P ENGINEER: CSArch GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER: Dente Engineering Wes Design KITCHEN DESIGN: GENERAL CONTRACTOR: ©Michael Moran/OTTO he design of the Won Dharma Center strikes a balance between the built and the natural environment. Though secluded within a five-acre site in the Hudson Valley, the 32,000-square-foot spiritual retreat, built on a gently sloping hill, is open and inviting. Evident throughout are references to Korean Buddhist temples and villages and the symbol of the sect, the circle. The focal point is a meditation hall, conceived as a simple, rectangular-shaped wooden structure with mountain views. Four spiral-shaped wooden buildings that house offices, dining rooms, and spaces for residents and guests are loosely clustered around a courtyard used for meditative walks. Features that exemplify the organization’s sensitivity towards nature and desire to be eco-friendly include the positioning of buildings toward the west and south to provide optimal daylighting, overhangs to prevent excessive heat gain, and passive and geothermal cooling systems. The project meets LEED Gold standards. ■ T Heitmann Builders 2013 AIANY Design Awards http://www.naylornetwork.com/arc-nxt/ Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of Oculus - Summer 2013 First Words Letter from the President Center for Architecture Introduction Architecture Interiors Urban Design Projects Rhetorically Speaking Index to Advertisers Oculus - Summer 2013 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0217 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0117 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0416 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0316 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0216 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0116 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0415 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0315 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0215 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0115 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0414 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0314 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0214 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0114 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0413 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0313 http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/ARCQ/ARCQ0213 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0113 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0412 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0312 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0212 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0112 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0411 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0311 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0211 http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/naylor/ARCQ0111 http://www.nxtbookMEDIA.com
