CONTEMPLATION CENTRE
LOCATION: CALGARY, ALBERTA
AREA: 24 ha
PHASE: Comphrensive studio (Partner- Navjot Singh)
The Moh-Kins Tsis Educational and Contemplation Centre supports
educating and reflecting upon immense hardships endured by Aboriginal
People’s. It also serves to celebrate and teach individuals about their
rich culture, tradition and beautiful language. After an emotional and
inspiring talk with an Elder from the First Nations community it led to
the realization of deep layers of meaning that ultimately inspired the
main design concept.
This element is significant due to its power and beauty of touching all
life on Mother Earth. As a result, it endeavors to uplift one’s spirit and
heal through its innate sacredness and warmth. Lastly, the project is
harmonized with varying gradients of light fundamental to the symbolism
of a journey towards healing that is juxtaposed between reflection
and healing spaces.
