I will take my manifesto about quote of Olive Schreiner “Everything has two sides - the outside that is ridiculous, and the inside that is solemn.” I choose this quote because I agree with this quote. From this quote make me think to the lecture about sacred and profane. From quote of Olive and lecture I have a question about “ What are decide that is ridiculous or solemn, and what are decide that is sacred or profane. In my opinion I think it depended on vision and believe of people.

I found the new about Japanese monk idea to the attracted teenage. First is Kansho Tagai or Mr. Happiness pray by to raping make attraction teenage. He is abbot, He has an idea about pray that has many ways to present, and can apply to use in every period, he use a rap for teenage make fun with pray, and make their found that the religious has fun side and interested in religious. From this style he success for attracted teenage.


And, in Ryohoji temple has an a idea to use a manga (is japanese cartoon) in the temple by add ing cartoon in temple, has a café and girl in cosplay to service, from abbot, he think it is not profane, he want to told people are temple can be a fun place same another place.

From these new show about Japanese monk, try to make new idea to attracted teenage to interesting religious, but from thes, theye have two groups, are accept and not, because the one group think it is profane by changing from the original of religious, and the other group think, it is sacred, because from this activity, it’s a good think and help religious by making attractive to teenage that they are interested in religious more than before.

In my mind, I think their opinion are same as the coin that has two faces, like the quote at first , and choose it’s sacred or profane by vision and belief of each people.

From this my perception I think about relationship between perception and architecture, it is in term of “Form” in architecture, in my mind, form will be good or bad depend on thinking of people same with my perception such as Mandarin Racha Devi hotel, this hotel use design form look like a temple, some people think it is profane and not appropriate, but some people think it is a new way for hotel design.



From all I observe the comment. This activity and building, in group of unacceptable people, a most of all, are sacred in this religious, why people in other religious do not think it is profane? From the question in my opinion I think cause from it is they did not know and sacred in that religious, but in group of people that are believe and sacred in this religious still have some people, think that it is not profane. why?, so I think it is depends on perception of each people, because I believe everything to do has two sides such as good or bad, sacred or profane, beautiful or ugly, etc. So it depend on we look on which side ?
