Windows to the Soul : Urban Pause

We designed a relaxation and meditation space in an urban context as a part of the brief commissioned by SAMOA, a development agency in Nantes, France and our assigned site was a pathway in a public park as a part of a larger competition brief. Our concept was built around the idea of walking meditation. We designed an experience where a person moves slowly along the park’s path, engaging all their senses- sight, sound, touch, and smell through subtle and meaningful interactions. At the end of the path, the journey opened into a social relaxation area-a calm space meant for reflection and quiet interaction.
