Proposal

PAUSE

Designed for reflection, experienced in silence.

"PAUSE" is designed to eliminate any outside distractions and sensitise people through stillness in architecture. The urban context emanates high levels of energy with the constant movement. Pause would counter and give balance to these high levels of energy with a space that enforces a lower, relaxed levels of energy. The proposal of an introspective programme serves as a healing medium for the mind and soul through shared or individual experiences of relaxation and recuperation within the space.

Design Philosophy: The Essence of Sacred Pause

Concept Evolution: From Geometry to Experience

·         Geometry rooted in the four elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire

·         Visual symmetry through axial layering

·         Shrine at the centre designed as a radiant spiritual core
