IBS temple, Buddhist temple in Dali District, Taichung, Taiwan
The temple displays raw concrete architecture without traditional decorations, tiles, or painted surfaces, emphasizing minimalist structural elements throughout its three floors.
The temple received recognition through the Taiwan Architecture Award in 2009 and the Taichung Urban Space Design Award in 2011.
The third floor contains a meditation room where visitors can practice sutra calligraphy, transcribing the Heart Sutra in a space dedicated to mindfulness.
The temple operates from Thursday to Sunday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with extended opening hours on weekends at 147 Yonglong Road.
A large plum tree blooms during winter months near the building, creating a natural contrast against the concrete structure of the temple.
