spectrum utopia
"Spectrum" conveys the idea of a wide range or variety, while "Utopia" implies an ideal or perfect community.
In a world of divides, I embarked on a project fueled by the vision of unity. Inspired by the prism's reverse theory—merging seven colors into one white—I envisioned a space where diversity converges into harmony. Beyond religious boundaries, we are bound by our shared humanity. Thus, I created a sanctuary where activities and experiences transcend labels. Here, laughter knows no creed, and joy needs no doctrine. Each corner whispers tales of inclusion, every event a celebration of our collective existence. In this space, every individual finds solace, every soul finds kinship, for here, we are not defined by faith, but by our humanity.

The design brief for this inclusive space envisions a temporary yet transformative structure that embodies unity and diversity. Consisting of seven colored domes, each offering a unique experience, it serves as a beacon of inclusivity. The temporary nature allows for easy relocation, ensuring accessibility to diverse communities.
Maximizing daylight utilization, the structure incorporates mirrored ceilings to create a dynamic interplay of light, fostering interactions among visitors and between colors and humans. The reflective surfaces not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also symbolize the interconnectedness of individuals.
A central circular staircase, adorned with gradient shades of colors, invites exploration across different levels, encouraging visitors to immerse themselves in the diverse experiences offered within each dome. From tranquil meditation spaces to vibrant cultural exhibits, every dome reflects the richness of human experiences.
