WHAT IS INEQUALITY ?

GOD CREATED PEOPLE AND PEOPLE CREATED SOCIETY AND

INEQUALITY IS THE ROOT OF ALL SOCIAL EVIL

INTRODUCTION
INCAPACITATED USERS ARE BORN OUT OF IDENTITY
AND NOT INDIVIDUALITY . INDIVIDUALITY TELLS US
THAT WE ARE ALL IN ONE AND ONE IN ALL
WHEREAS OUR IDENTITY IS AN ILLUSION IN THIS
REAL WORLD AND THE CAUSE OF INEQUALITY.

A SPACE OF CONGREGATION,
WHICH WILL REMOVE SEGREGATION,
THERE WOULD BE EVOLUTION,
CREATED FROM SOCIAL EVIL AND INCAPACITED USERS
AMALGAMATION,
QUALITY OF SPACE CREATION,
THROUGH MINIMALISM CONCEPT’S FUSION.
minimalism IS NOT ABSENCE OF SOMETHING
BUT IT IS
THE PERFECT AMMOUNT OF EVERYTHING.
SOMETIMES THE HEART SEES , FEELS AND LISTENS WHAT
IS INVISIBLE TO EYE ,NOT HEARABLE TO EARS AND NOT
TOUCHABLE BY HANDS AND LEGS SO QUALITY MATTERS
NOT QUANTITY.

CONCEPT
NIRVANA
It is an ideal state where the person
attains freedom from the cycle of death
and rebirth. We are taking nirvana as our
concept keeping in mind the rebirth of a
drug addict into the society.

An attempt is made to unite all types of

people of the society with the help of
architecture..A good change in the
thinking of people is targeted with the
help of good congregational spaces.

The endless knot is a geometric diagram

that symbolizes interrelationships and
how everything exists as a part of web or
karma.It also represents the cycle of
death and rebirth.

“FUNCTION AND FEELINGS ARE THE WEAVES FROM WHICH THE FABRIC OF
ARCHITECTURE EMERGES.”

- PRAMOD BERI

IT IS WELL ESTABLISHED THAT BUILT ENVIRONMENT CAN AFFECT A PERSON’S

EMOTIONAL STATE. OUR WORK STARTS WITH AN AWARENESS OF BUILDING’S
EMOTIONAL CHARACTER.

SPACES ARE INTENTIONALLY IMBUED WITH A SENSE OF CALMNESS,PEACE ;

PLACES WHERE THE OCCUPANTS MAY FEEL REMOVED FROM EVERYDAY

DISTRACTIONS AND INVOLUNTARILY MOVED TOWARDS SELF-REFLECTION.
