Sitting atop the Songshan mountains in rural Henan, China is magnificent looking temple designed by Latvian architecture studio Mailītis Architects.
The Shaolin Flying Monks Temple was completed recently and has a very unique-looking pavilion that contains a vertical wind tunnel designed partially by Aerodium. It opens up toward the sky at the centre of a 230-seat amphitheater.

Mailītis says, “The concept is to tell the history of Zen and Kung-Fu through artistic performances and architectural image of the building itself. It serves as a metaphor for mountain and trees and was inspired by Songshan mountain – the natural environment for monks to develop their skills.” Check out some images of the structure below and find more on Mailītis Architects’ website.
