Programming my thoughts...

This diagram is another quick illustration of my thought process.

The dotted black lines represent the entry and the exit of the site.

We all come from a stressful place to heal. In order to heal, one must forget and forgive. One must let go of their stress, anger and fear. Before going through the process of healing, the place needs a space that allows people to discard their angers, and toss away their stressful memories of the past. What if there is a space that let people write down anything that they want – their pain, their anger, and their stress – and burn those into ashes. (I don’t want to pollute the environment. I was told that there are some types of papers that are not toxic and harmful to the environment)

There is a display area to exhibit the history of what happened in the past. Usually, exhibitions recall memories, but what I don’t want is to remind the people of the dreadful past. My intention is to make them remember the history and give them a gesture to move on. Another intention of the display area is to let everyone see the journey of what Burmese people went through (This is for the future generation and the people from other countries). 

Tranquility is something you find after you are healed. Therefore, a peaceful space awaits at the end of the journey. The healing space allows one to meditate, reflect on oneself, interact with the space.
