About the project
The World has become too complex, pulling our attention in multiple directions at all times. The Contemplation Center is a refuge from overstimulation, it is a place to unplug, focus, and find peace. Therefore, it is necessary to have a place that can at least help healing by presenting a meditation room (tranquillity in the middle of the city). There is no single way to meditate. Some meditate with a soft focus on their environment; some, with tight focus on a particular object. Some meditate by focusing out to the world; some, by focusing on the self. Some focus in sounds; some on silence. The Contemplation Centre provides a variety of spaces and stimuli to guests to help them connect to the physical and metaphysical.
