EXPERIENTIAL CENTRE
EXHIBITION GALLERY MELLOW-TUNING WHITE SPACE AWAKE CAFE
A multipurpose hall for Art and
Mildfulness related events, workshop
and seminars. This space is easily
accessible for the people coming
only for the event.
An “im-mediate” space, exerting an influence
outside the realm of the senses and the
skin. It creates a synthesis of the organic,
of mood and space, by establishing a
continuity between architecture and human
metabolism, between space, light and the
endocrine and neurological systems.

The Gravity Room teaches that one
can’t always rely upon their senses to
discern what is real and what merely
an illusion is. The furniture placement
and the interiors are designed in
such a way that the user feels that
the space is upside down and he/she
is floating around.
To create the night during the day, a new
form of night in the continuous artificial day
of the modernity. It is to produce the night
during the day, physically. It’s a reversed
answer to the perpetual day created by the
modernity, Internet and the contemporary
globalization.

melatonin

The possibility of live in three temporalities: The first one is natural; the other two are artificial,

relations between humans and their
environment.
The labyrinth is a framework for whatever beliefs and intentions an individual brings to it, rather than imposing a set of beliefs on
participants, as well as common ground to be shared by people of differing faiths.
SPATIAL CONCEPTS
The spatial design strategy for the experiential center aims to encourage people to engage with spaces that stimulate their
senses, impacting both their physiology and psychology. These spaces are designed to prompt individuals to question their
feelings and experiences within the environment. Multiple approaches are employed, taking into account how the body reacts
to different stimuli and induces biological changes. The goal is to provide users with an opportunity to perceive and feel the
space in a manner distinct from their everyday experiences.
