Jewish Taiwan Cultural Association (Oracle)

Jewish Synagogue

The concept of the design was inspired by Durer's oil painting, Praying Hands. The line of the clasped hands revealing the arch is our design's inspiration. The Jewish Taiwan Cultural Association is Taiwan's first synagogue. The core concept of each spatial unit and its artistic details are all based on the axis of suspended curvatures: parabolic arches and the shape of the lines of suspension arches. Each individual piece of the arch is made up of seemingly random but actually quite regular elements formed by flips.
