GEO-MORPHATION

Type: Public Meditation Center

Location: Travis Park Downtown San Antonio, Tx

CONCEPT

This presentaion is the development of a meditation center in Travis Park, San Antonio, Tx. The concept for this project is based off the transition from earth to the spirit world projected into sacred geometry. The tree of life represents the overall connection between earth and heaven. Breaking down the elements individually the square is the first component that is represents earth as the foundation of the order. When the transformation begins the next formation becomes a hexagon which becomes the intermediate stage between the physical and spiritual wolrd. The hexagon is the harmony and balance between the two worlds. The final transformation is the circle that represents the spiritual world, nature of the universe. In meditation we guide our mind from the pyshical nature to our spiritual senses. This concept allows you to physically walk through that experience with our body and experience each stage of the transformation to simulate that connection between heavan and earth.

The site is located in travis park in downtown San Antonio, Tx. Travis park was once part ofthe farmlands of mission san antonio de valero, which is today known as “The Alamo”. The land was deeded to the city in 1876 afer the privious owner had passed. The park had undergone improvements overs the centuries and has held outdoor festivals, events, activities over the years for the public and the community to enjoy. Today the park includes a dog park, water fountain, public art display, and a walking trail.
