Rangjung Yeshe Gomde is a center for Buddhist studies and meditation on the Bäckerberg in Scharnstein. The Buddhist center has existed since 2004 and is a place of refuge for an international audience. Together with the architecture departments of three universities – the University of Innsbruck, the University of Kassel and the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture – places of meditation and silence are being created on the site of the center.
Six interventions are designed and implemented by the students as part of their courses. The result will be inspiring spaces that blend into the landscape of the Bäckerberg and invite you to find peace and quiet. The characteristics of the pavilions are also coordinated with the location, primarily using regional materials. The students work with local cooperation partners (joineries, etc.) to implement the project.
15:00 Opening followed by a tour and presentation of the individual installations.
17:30 TALK with guests on the topic: Architecture, meditation and transformation with a festive finale.
