Project idea

A project is a place of reflection, silence, and prayer; an intimate space for the encounter with oneself and nature. A place of contemplation that is a kind of stele, refuge, and sanctuary. It is proposed to raise three points that serve as mountains and that emerge from the ground, resulting in a diaphanous space that seeks the spiritual and essential connection of whoever visits it.

It is intended to balance the congested built structure around with soft aspects of a green landscape that is accessible physically as well as visually. The main purpose of this design is to create a common ground for human contact, and a socialization space for a shared activity. Simply, a breathing space in midst of the crowded commercialized zone.

The height of 60 feet white sculpture resembles the great mountain where the brave Pasang Lhamu Sherpa was a first lady who climbed and became a huge inspiration for not only Nepali but for the whole world to look upon. Also, the 60 feet height is a landmark to give a sense of identity to space. The physical setting of a place is arranged with stone texture and sitting form to give a sense of enclosure and a sense of place to the people

The space itself is a landmark for this area.
