Mathematics can often be found within architecture. In this case, the form of a proposed Buddhist temple in Shanghai has taken inspiration from a Mobius Strip. 

Constantly changing ceiling heights and the basis of the design aim at the concept of reincarnation.

‘Formless’; a word which could describe this building, with no beginning or end, such is a Buddhist life.

The architect behind the project, Wang Qing of Miliy Design said “All the temples we see are traditional Chinese buildings” and his design mission became bringing something new to the community. A change to the usual stupa style temple.
