Abstract

Due to the revival of Buddhism, the increasing number of Buddhists and the prosperity of the tourism-related activities, traditional Buddhist architectures in Han-nation areas nowadays suffer a lot from evident shortcomings such as excessive pursuit of ancient style, lack of features, non-suitable for the requirements of modern Buddhism and so on. In order to meet the actual needs of modern Buddhist temples, this paper studies the evolution of architectural planning and design of Buddhist temples to meet the habits of Buddhists and the relations with the modern society. This paper also discusses the design of Buddhism buildings by analyzing related projects in Taiwan(China) and Japan. Buddhism architectural theory and practice policy mainly focuses on functional layout and corresponding architectural design. After that, it provides a practical design solution of Buddhist multipurpose space in Harbin, China, exploring the innovation of modern Buddhist architecture with Chinese characteristics, and the cultural significance of Buddhism that integrated with modern architecture theory. There is an interview of a monk in Chapter three about the design project.
