Infinite reverie

Project idea

Infinite Reverie, embodies a harmonious blend of architectural innovation and spiritual resonance. Inspired by the timeless concepts of balance found in the Indian echos of Samsara and the intricate beauty of the lotus mandala, our vision is to create an immersive experience center that offers a sanctuary for reflection and renewal. Each space within our design, from the Memorial Space to the Open-Air Theater, is meticulously crafted to evoke tranquility and foster community connection. Our goal is to inspire, uplift, and awaken the senses, inviting visitors on a journey of self-discovery and renewal.

Project description

The center is divided into five distinct realms, each representing a different sense and aspect of life. The Realm of Samsara focuses on touch and features spaces for remembrance and exhibitions symbolizing new beginnings. The Realm of Dharma emphasizes sight, with a library, learning spaces, and a reflective garden. The Realm of Karma centers around taste, offering a cozy café and spaces for reflection. The Realm of Moksha highlights sound, with a meditation hall and community gathering areas. Finally, the Realm of Maya engages smell, providing galleries, creative studios, and an open courtyard.

Each space within Infinite Reverie is designed to evoke serenity and contemplation, inviting visitors to explore the timeless wisdom and innovative spirit of Indian architecture. The experience center serves as a sanctuary for the mind, body, and spirit, offering a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. Visitors are invited to embark on a transformative voyage of discovery and enlightenment, finding inspiration in the beauty of existence and the legacy of India's architectural visionaries.
