DESIGN BRIEF - MONASTERIES PROVIDE AN EXPERIENCE OF QUIET AND SOLITARY EXISTENCE IN ABUNDANCE WITH TIME, EXPLORING ONESELF HAS BECOME A MAJOR THING PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR TRANQUILITY IN A PLACE THAT HAS MORE OF NATURE AND LESS OF CITY-SCAPE. SPIRITUALITY HAS NOW BECOME A CONCEPT, AN INTIMATE WAY OF DEEPENING POWERS OF CONCENTRATION AND INSIGHT SPIRITUAL RETREATS CAN EITHER BE A TIME OF SOLITUDE OR A COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE SPIRITUAL RETREATS ALLOW TIME FOR REFLECTION, PRAYER, OR MEDITATION AND ARE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL IN BUDDHISM

THE DESIGN MOTIVE DEMANDS A PLACE WITH A SENSE OF SELF-REFLECTION AND A LANDMARK FOR BUDDHIST RETREAT CENTERS.
