The Centre for Emergence
Masters of ArchitectureStudio IV - M1 Comprehensive Studio
In Collaboration with Ethan Rozendaal

The Centre for Emergence is a place to change the future by
changing the mind. It is a design
scenario that explores the intersection of experiential art, consciousness and
neuroaesthetic research, and contemplative practice to foster individual and
cultural actualization.
Inspired by the neo-futurism movement, the concept considers how to actualize the dynamic engagement of healing, self-actualization, and culture formation through the aesthetic experience as a response to the social and environmental context of the site.
Light, space and time are key elements used to create an immersive spatial experience, positioning the architecture to become a mediator between the individual’s mind, body and spirit by playing with perception. Because, revealing how you see yourself and the world around you can create an opportunity to change that relationship.
