The orientation and geometry spring the foundation to any structure to exhibit the energies that holds the power to support certain activities. As we have learnt form sacred geometries and technique where the buildings are made from the science of geometry, patterns, magnetic energies, forces, and vibrations of the area on the Earth which helps the structure and the practices performed a value, a meaning that completely affects the cells of our body.
The design criteria for the ventilation purpose will need to have large windows, semi open roof skylights, sky wells, open façade designs, implementation of biophilic designs, area surrounded with green landscape for the purification of air and fresh air ventilation.
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0f/f2/0c/0ff20c95d0ead84552efab8048db07ae.jpg
It is important to keep the ventilation concept in mind while designing a Meditational unit because most of the activities use breathing techniques during contemplation and yoga which will require the cross ventilation of the gases from the enclosed area.

These disciplines are completely focused on the human being, as they seek to work and satisfy their physical, psychological and spiritual needs, and that's why it seems important to analyze how these needs are being met spatially by interior designers and successfully implementing the ideas of calmative activities in Vipassana center. Many of the operations taken in these areas create enabling environments for reflection, introspection, healing, and therefore could also be applied in other relevant programs, in both residential, commercial, health care, etc.

Vipassana is a very ancient meditation technique of India. Any person who becomes a Buddha attains enlightenment by rediscovering this lost technique. In the Vedic literature before the lifetime of the Buddha, there is abundant praise for this technique. But it is only praise. The Buddha re discovered this lost technique.
The Global Vipassana Pagoda is a Meditation dome hall with a capacity to seat around 8,000 Vipassana meditators. Inaugurated on 8 February 2009.

Calmative Center 77 | Page Pratiksha Thapliyal 3.1.14 CONCEPT AND PLANNING
•
The center of the Global Vipassana Pagoda contains the World’s largest stone dome built without any supporting pillars.
• Height of the dome is approximately 29 metres. The height of building is 96.12 meters.
• The internal diameter of the dome is 85.15 m.
ThePlanning fortheGlobal VipassanaPagodabegin in 1997, theactual construction started in 2000. The pagoda consists of sub domes.
•
• Now it is being practiced in 293 Vipassana centers and still counting all around the world.
• The inside of the pagoda is hollow and serves a very large meditation hall with area dimensioning 6000 sq m (65,000 sq ft.)
•
The massive inner dome seats over 8000 people, enabling them to practice the non sectarian Vipassana meditation as taught by Mr S N Goenka,
The second, third domes, and auxiliary dome adjoining the second dome, sit atop the first dome.
The first and the largest dome where the bone relics of Gautama Buddha were enshrined in the central locking stone.
•
For the inner dome alone, approximately 15,500 cubic meters of Jodhpur stones, and 46,000 cubic meters of basalt stones were used.
3.1.16 CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE
DESCRIPTION In the beginning, it was contemplated building the Pagoda in R.C.C. and mild steel. But the project aim was to build a structure to last for a thousand years which could only be achieved by using stone for construction. It was decided to use basic building principles that have existed in ancient India for centuries combined with the latest construction technologies.
Materials used in the project Stones, lime mortar, black basalt stones
The foundation and the base level of the Pagoda are built with black basalt stones. Approximately 2.5 million tons of stone have been used. These were carted from quarries in Rajasthan, more than a thousand kilometres from the construction site. Its transportation, cutting and fixing in place in itself was mammoth work requiring expertise in man and material handling.
The inter locking principle:
Calmative Center 78 | Page Pratiksha Thapliyal 3.1.15 MATERIAL TYPOLOGY
Calmative Center 79 | Page Pratiksha Thapliyal Sompura Consultant, demonstrated the idea of locking system of stones by using bars of soap. He cut the soap into shape the same way the stones here are cut. Each stone in the Global Pagoda has grooves cut both in horizontal and vertical direction, and is so designed that it interlocks in both directions. The entire construction is done using lime mortar to ensue longevity and strength of the structure. 3.1.17 DESIGN ELEMENTS Total height of the Pagoda: 89.93 m Clear span of the main dome: 85.15 m Clear height of the main dome: 26.27 m Total Masonry stone: 76,500 m3 (192,000 tons) http://www.earth auroville.com/maintenance/uploaded_pics/04 pagoda.jpg

The soil is not suitable for productive agriculture with traditional methods. This was also assessed by the District Officer in 1976, who concluded that "the entire area is exposed to wind and water. If this is allowed to continue, then agriculture will be impossible." area also falls in the cyclonic
Auroville has a tropical climate. The dry season usually lasts seven months, from January to July. May and June are the hottest months with occasional showers. The main rainy season is from October to January. The average rainfall is 1,230 mm. a year. The prevailing wind blows from the southeast. HYDROGRAPHY
Our monitoring of water levels and water quality in the wells of this region shows a tremendous decline in the level of the water tables due chiefly to over extraction (up to 45 m over 30 years in some locations) and an alarming increase of salinity in the groundwater, particularly in the Vanur aquifer, the main aquifer of the region.

With an increasing awareness ofenvironmentalimpacts onourgeneral healthandoverall wellbeing the attention to sound related subjects is evoking public interest and concern.
The conscious effort to offer the visitor and user different acoustic experiences as he may wander through the Svaram Campus of Sound, from an acoustically dead space of an anechoic chamber, to spaces designed to maximise reflection and reverberation. The surrounding walls and surfaces of the network of corridors and passages connecting the variouspartsofthemuseumandexploratoriumhavebeenshapedandpositionedtocreate different soundscapes. Tilted walls reflect sound out. Covering vaults push it right back to a focal point.
3.3.11 AIM
3.3.12 CONCEPT & PLANNING
During the past few years our craft, design and sonic research explorations have expanded into musical playgrounds, sound installations for interiors and interactive sound landscapes for public spaces, parks, schools and other educational institutions.
While noise pollution is a recognized hazard in urban settings and developments, very little research has so far been done on the positive effects of musical sound and its scope to enhance the quality of life and environment. The instruments crafted are designed from natural materials like stones, bamboo, water, and others which are sustainable.
Calmative Center 126 | Page Pratiksha Thapliyal 3.3.13 MATERIAL TYPOLOGY The following brief descriptions give an overview of the sound atmosphere and effect of the installations. Style and materials can be adjusted to the general design of the place and project as segments of the installations can be integrated into additional roof structures to offer more weather protected spaces.

Calmative Center 130 | Page Pratiksha Thapliyal 3.3.14 DESIGN ELEMENTS The design of Svaram is based on the Fibonacci Sequence on different levels, from shaping the volumes of the different building blocks to giving different rhythms to its facades. The vertical slim columns sitting on the bottom heavy structure have been ordered on different combinations of the Fibonacci sequence. They assigned a sound wave to each of these varying lengths of the sequence to study the diverse probabilities of the outcome wavelength. 3.3.15 AREA PROGRAM 1. Fine Craft & Artisan Workshops 2.

Calmative Center 134 | Page Pratiksha Thapliyal https://fabianostner.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/slide 08 level 03 all copy.jpg Based on the functional requirements, the buildings have been created either as large introverted blocks or open public spaces. These spaces also determine how far a visitor can go in terms of accessibility. The overall plan is criss crossed by a network of pathways, which connect the various parts directly or over shortcuts and bypasses.
