In 1989, Tadao Ando designed the Water Temple representing a radical change in the age-old tradition of Japanese temple architecture. Instead of a direct entrance, visitors descend a staircase through a lotus-filled pond, heightening anticipation and encouraging self-reflection. The temple remains hidden until one physically engages with the space, fostering a deep sense of discovery. By integrating nature, light, and movement, Ando’s design makes individuals active participants in their spiritual experience, rather than passive observers of architecture.
Four decades later, we at Mercury are on a similar mission to empower individuals through deliberate interactions and introspections. Now, our Cards team is looking for a senior designer to bring this philosophy to life— elevating everyday experiences so startups spend less time banking* and more time building.
