BOUNDLESS SPIRIT: The concept is based on the “ The Journey of the boundless Spirit”. In order to achieve this, an induvidual has to go through spaces lik education that will educate them on the topiv of wellness/ wellbeing, and then move to spaces like experience in order to understand what it means to find ones innerself. Only after going though these spaces will a person find recuperation.

Hence its a process that has no boundaries in finding yourself & letting go.

SITE PLAN

BREATHE- Cultural Centre for Wellness [Thesis Project].

The Proposed Project theme implies the meaning of wellness and happiness for the present & the future generations to come, based on their emotional, psychological & sensory behaviours, for better growth & development. The theme defines what one feels inside when a specific envioronment is created to feel so. :Dubai Design District (D3), Dubai, UAE PANDEMIC ISSUE: With the coronavirus pandemic taking up the world by storm, looking into the wellbeing of ones mental & physical health has become No.1 priority. Now more than ever the wellness industry is booming, and that means there are even more ways to work on how we feel & live. Thise theme allows the centre to become a re-thinking ground, which does not only promote wellness/wellbeing as a fictional matter but allows it to actually become a reality that provide positive living within the society & the general public.

The projects aims to touch every induvidual, regardless of their age, nationality & culture etc through their mind, body & soul. It will help them educate & take them on a journey through experiencing spaces that calm them, and help them become one with nature in the modern way of life.

Thus, with the help of this unity in Diversity is achieved.
