Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Nature begets spirituality and so most religious centres
are ensconced amidst nature. Shanti Sadan is a place for wor-
ship and for service. The spatial planning of this facility, the
materials used in the construction and the simple form that
defines this building are all a reflection of the austere life of
the nuns of this community.
The site had a two-storeyed structure adjacent to an
existing hospice, which had become weak due to disrepair
and age. It could no longer accommodate the current and
future needs of the congregation. Hence, the Sisters of St.
Ann, Luzern in Mysore invited us to design a new facility. Our
approach to this project was to understand the semiotics as-
sociated with religious architecture and separate it from the
pervasive image of what architectural forms and shapes define
a specific religion.
