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.

current day light.

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.

YELLOW LIGHTS

Triggering release of melatonin

Furniture is soft, closer to a

lounge typology with sofa-like

elements, thereby relaxing the

body, complimenting the onset of

melatonin

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

physiologically produced.

Rain Room is a symptomatic

reflection. Faced with the material

and subjective effects of transforming

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.
