I saw an impressive Sand-Mandala in Tibet last year. The whole process and pattern always in my mind. I truly believe Mandala has a magical power. On Oct 2009, I went back to Tibet to learn drawing Mandala Thangka.
Background
Mandalas are commonly used by trantric Buddhists as an aid to meditation, a spiritual map. More specifically, a Buddhist Mandala is regarded as a sacred space, a pure lands or a place of nirvana and peace. A Mandala, which is depicted with Mount Meru, can also represent the entire universe.
Tibetan architecture and Urbean Planning all follow the forms of Mandala, even the people.
I want to choose mandala as my research topic and explore the mandala in geometry, mathematics aspects, inform the forward thinking and experimental mandala and output of the architecture and how space communicate with human body.
People is an important part of mandala, it said when ppl moving in the mandala, it begin to rotate. It kinda like the relationship between ppl and space. When ppl moving in the space, feel the spacial sequence, became a part of the space.My concern relate to investigate an narrative space based on Mandala. Since the initial design, the main issue is to find the potentiality of novel space derive from rationally research on the geometric logic in Mandala. The exploration will be done by osillating between digital methodology and physical experiments throughout the research process and finally cereate a research system (2D-3D-Space) and the spacial intelligence in Mandala.
Four stage:
Formation (Form Finding)
Conversion
Enternal Mind
Recreate
