DESIGN APPROACH
Simple Friendly and Convenient.
These are the three key words for Pranic Healing as it is the Smart, Simple and Safe way to improve your health conditions through the wonders of Holistic Healing.
With a Holistic Design approach characterized by the belief that the building blocks on site are intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole. We have encompassed whole of the site and worked on these three key words- Simple Friendly and Convenient
Greenest Possible habitat
The greenest possible habitat would strive to achieve the following:
- Optimize demand for electricity, water and other natural resources (in construction and operation )
- Generate all its electricity on site through renewable means
- Cater to all its water demands through sustainable processes such as rain water harvesting
- Grow its own food on site
- Recycle and reuse all its waste on site and burden the environment to the minimum.
We refer to this process of design as “closing the loop”. In other words, striving to generate and utilize on-site resources to construct and operate the building and then ensuring that all the waste material is managed on-site itself.
Meditation halls are in the shape of pyramids with golden ratio which denotes a connection between earth and sky.
Due to its shape and angle, the structure gets aligned perfectly to th earth.... means "centric" or within; hence, Pyramid is a device with energy at its center.
As per a study, Meditation in Pyramidical structure is thrice more powerful compared to Meditation done otherwise.
An attempt has been made to create an interactive interface with the external environment and has evolved from a rectangular plan with a Glass Pyramid roof. The pyramidical structure as Meditation Center is is considered as the shape with the 51 degree angle, is like store house of energy, which absorbs and radiates, giving a sense of hope to life. The deign attempts a seamless integratio of the play of light, form and the surrounding greenery.
