The Gnostic centre, Nainital

Abstract

This thesis aims at designing a place for those seeking to go within and discover the eternal presence. A place for those seeking to integrate the inner and outer dimensions of life, together in one synthetic experience. A place for re-search and study. A place of palpable Beauty and Peace, in close proximity with Nature. A place for those looking for a cocoon to go within undisturbed and away from the material exigencies of daily life. A place of love and harmony, integrating the needs of the local community around the land. A learning-soul community that gathers periodically for short or longer periods of time to engage in one or more of the above.
