Description:
The concept design revolves around the idea of utilizing mandalas as a central theme to create an intelligent space that fosters creativity, spirituality, and cultural representation. The space aims to inspire individuals through its authentic and soulful ambiance. The concept draws upon the concept of mandalas, which are diagrams or geometric patterns symbolizing the metaphysical and symbolic representation of the universe. Traditionally used in various spiritual traditions as a tool for focus, spiritual guidance, and meditation, the mandala has evolved into an art form that represents African culture and traditions.
In this design, the square with four gates enclosing a circle and a center point serves as the basic form of the mandala. However, instead of using a circle, the design incorporates a cube to symbolize solidity and recognition, drawing upon the cube’s recognition as a Platonic form.
The use of circles and curves within the design represents landscape lines, creating a harmonious and flowing environment. Multiple levels of landscape are incorporated to enhance user movement, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Additionally, the design incorporates various spaces to increase the diversity of experiences for visitors.
