About
"Oasis" is a 3 pod structure designed to blend solitude, acceptance, and inspiration. It features 3 cubic structures, smallest being 8x8x10-foot placed diagonally over a pond and garden, with a tree passing through it to create a strong connection with nature. Terracotta is the primary material, providing a naturally calming atmosphere, with patterns inspired by Gujarati culture. A glass-encased pond corner offers immersive nature views with privacy. Continuous water flow adds serenity, and extended roofs support small gardens, enhancing aesthetics and providing tranquility. Oasis serves as a sanctuary for solitude and self-acceptance, inspires through nature integration, and fosters dialogue by accommodating more people, all within a university campus environment, aiming to create lasting memories and shared meaning.
