Abstract
Khanqah Village: Exploring the Idea of Spirituality examines how architectural design can embody and enhance spiritual life within a communal setting. Drawing inspiration from traditional Khanqah institutions, the project envisions a village that supports both individual contemplation and collective practices. Through the integration of courtyards, shaded pathways, water elements, and sensory engagement with light, sound, and nature, the design creates a serene and immersive environment. The project reinterprets spiritual architecture by merging cultural traditions with contemporary spatial needs, promoting a holistic experience of peace, belonging, and inner reflection in everyday life.
