MY THEME IS ETHEREAL ARCHITECTURE. THE WORD ‘ETHEREAL’ MEANS OTHER- WORLDLY OR DIVINE. THROUGH MY THEME I HAVE LAID EMPHASIS ON THE IDEA OF ESCAPE. BEING CAUGHT UP IN A BUSY URBAN LIFESTYLE MYSELF I BELIEVE THAT AN ESCAPE FROM A RUT OR A ROUTINE IS REQUIRED FROM TIME TO TIME IN ORDER TO GIVE TIME FOR REFLECTION AND SELF ANALYSIS. THIS IDEA MATERIALISED WHEN I DECIDED TO CREATE A MEDITATIVE PAVILION LOCATED IN CENTRAL LONDON. I WISH TO EMPHASISE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN URABN AND ETHEREAL THROUGH THIS PROJECT BY CREATING A ZEN SPACE WITHIN A CONCRETE JUNGLE. IT IS A SPACE THAT WILL CALL TOWARDS LONDONERS CAUGHT UP IN THEIR LIVES TO TAKE A MOMENT FOR REFLECTION IN A TRANQUIL AND SERENE ENVIRONMENT. MY AIM THROUGH THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A SPACE THAT WAS UNIQUE, NATURE INSPIRED AND FUNCTIONAL. THIS SPACE WOULD BE FIT FOR ANYONE IN SEARCH OF CALM WITHIN THE CITY.
