the slit of light that renders the dark space adds more values to a space. the light that enters this dark tube guides the user to reach the destination.
the aroma of the herbs guide the user to have a leisure walk along the pedestrian pathway. this will make to heal the patients who uses this space.
the difference in the texture of the material varying from roughness to softness and dark to light gives different psychological feel to the user of the space.
the flowing stream across the site gives tranquility to the people who meditate around that. this also act as the focal point of meditation.
