The intent of this project is to create a peaceful space that people from all around the world, of all races and religions, could come to. Simplicity plays the main role in this project. Ando uses simple geometric shapes. Circle is a symbol of peace, it also represents centrality, emptiness, oneness and enlightenment. The cylindrical space is 6 meter wide and 6 meter high. In Ando’s architecture, height and depth doesn’t define one or two storeys. They are “ways we penetrate into the earth and feel its embrace around our body and the way we aspire towards the heavens."
