sound (musical) meditation hall plan design


this is the concept model for the musical meditation space. 


this is the overall plan including the musical meditation space. in this space, i would like to emphasize the rhythm. there will be the sound of water that will locate on the peace sign axis. the way movement of water is inspired by the Japanese's bamboo water features.

this will create a rhythmical sound suitable  for meditation. at the starting point of the water, lies the gear wheel that is powered by outside wind.

and there will be the only window locate behind the wheel,
 
so as the wheel rotates, the shadow creates rhythmically according to the wind. thus the person also have the connection to outside environment without being outside. 
                    on the floor, there will be the rounded gravel started from the door opening to finer sand substance that resemble the movement of the sound wave. also it gives the sense of time and moment.



the word "musical," in this case, is the rhythm.

  1. I think your attention to the way the light will interact and emphasize the auditory experience gives this portion of the project a great foundation! The study models are a good start too and I would like to see more exploration on an intimate scale. I also think you can explore more senses throughout your spaces, not just visual and auditory, but maybe also tactility.

  2. thank you deeply for your advise. i have brought the tactility to be part of the experiences (through bare foot where i believe we forgot or never feel other than our shoe support or home flooring). i achieve this sensibility by using different gravels on flooring, in which also captures the earth energy.
