Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi, “kintsugi oasis” stands as a testament to the beauty found in healing and resilience. Just as Kintsugi breathes new life into broken pottery, this oasis is a sanctuary dedicated to mending the soul, mind, and body.
Kintsugi literally translated is “golden joinery”. Every element within this space echoes the philosophy of Kintsugi. The architecture embodies the concept of repair, blending modern design with elements that acknowledge the beauty of imperfection. Cracks and lines woven into the structure, symbolic of the struggles and challenges faced, are highlighted in hues, illuminating the journey of transformation and growth.
This courtyard area has a lounge for seating that is later on connected with a cafe. The other half of the space is for horticultural therapy, where people can garden. The produce people garden can be reused in the cafe or sold. A innovative feature added to this space is the liquid tree that is above the shed in the center. This invention by the Serbian scientist is used in urban settings and can also be used indoor. It photosynthesizes like a tree providing a better and health indoor air quality.
