Site Isometric Update / Proposal Mindmap (Envisagement of Ceremonial Experience)

Site Isometric Update

The site has been rendered to give the maximum shadow quality and the adjacent ruins have been re-scaled for more accuracy. The image was also re-positioned to focus more on the Grand Hall and not too much of the surrounding elements. Grass and ruins have been made more subtle to make the Grand hall stand out visually. Lines of circulation of the tourist have been removed as it was just a rough approximation. The most anticipated viewscapes have been re-illustrate for more clarity as shown with the blue lines. Natural lighting has been added to show its position. Texts are located next to each of its own elements to give a brief information.

Project Mindmap

Creative Plateform for Ceremonial Experience - it is a virtual network for the Buddhist Community as well as people who are non buddhist that allows them to design their own experience that they desire to carry out Buddhist activities and ceremonies such as mediation. Here the people on site can really experiment and experience how each variables can effect the experience inside the Grand Hall consisting of light, sound, smell, and materials that is related to the activites. 

Designing Interface (onsite): Visitors onsite will be allowed to create the virtual space to that creates different experiences through simple architecture massing such as roof that has a skylight creating an ocular natural lighting effect. They will be designing it real time meaning that every selections they make will be shown on the site immediately and virtually. Once they are done, the designed virtual space will be save into their own account channel where other users both onsite and online will be able to access and experience it.

Online: The users online can access any virtual space created by others or themselves and be able to leave comments and feed back. They can also interact with other users who are accessing the same virtual spaces as well as the people own site. Each virtual spaces will be ranked based on the no. of entries.

Medias both for onsite and online: glasses and headphones are required for the user to experience the created virtual space through their sensory organs. 

Aside from the daily Buddhist practice, these are the significant ceremonies that I am researching on which has a big potential to drive the virtual space, hence crating the Virtual Grammar.

This is the image of a potential virtual space when it is being design by a non Buddhist user. It can result in the new emergence of ceremonial experience, hence the growth of Buddhism.
