Every religion teaches men to be honest and helps them to become Human. We try to make Him happy who created us. We start to pray for the tranquility and pray to that strong unknown power. We have a feeling that we have someone who is taking care of us all. Thus it will take care of our soul. This is called DIALOUGE BETWEEN MEN AND GOD.

This project will bring people together from different religions and help them share their knowledge. They will have the chance to express the true essence of their religion. Philosophies will be shared. It will become a platform for the truth and thirst for knowledge.

It is an inter-faith center; it is a research platform for the people who are thirsty for knowledge. It is a place for sharing thoughts and respecting others, a universal connection between human and their deepest feelings.

It is a place of hope and peace.

Light was one of the most important elements of the project, it removes odor and bring the truth in its path! Forms are treated in such way that the light can come where it is needed philosophically or functionally. Water was another vital and divine element. It has a symbolic characteristic that it refreshes body and soul. Meditation space is designed as a space in nature [as “nature is the temple”]. Effort has given to create a symbolic interaction between tall trees and flat plate. Respecting the context and making harmony with it. And these things are arranged sequentially “like a journey”!

I am the way into the city of woe.

I am the way to a forsaken people.

I am the way into eternal sorrow.

 Sacred justice moved my architect.

I was raised here by divine omnipotence,

Primordial love and ultimate intellect.

 Only those elements time cannot wear

Were made before me, and beyond time I stand.

– Dante Alighieri
