dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Martial arts, often emphasized for its physical aspects, holds a profound mental and spiritual dimension. The dojo, a space integral to martial arts practice, becomes a crucial transition space connecting the physical practice with its spiritual realm. This thesis explores the often overlooked transition space in the interior of a dojo, delving into its qualities and significance in East Asian martial arts, particularly drawing from Japanese temple architecture. Examining the intersection of spiritual and physical components of martial arts, the research aims to understand the mental impact of transition spaces and how they guide practitioners. Minimal research has explored the spatial design of a dojo and its transitional elements, making this study a unique exploration of the spiritual character of martial arts through spatial design. Keywords: Martial Arts, Dojo, Transition Space, Spiritual Architecture, Japanese Temple Architecture, East Asian Martial Arts, Spatial Design, Mental Preparation, Interior Spaceen
