The project stems from the IBM pavilion by Renzo Piano exploring the use of bamboo and its derivatives to replace the polycarbonate shells.
MEDITATION SPACE 
 The coffered pyramid bamboo ply shell contains and absorbs the sound within in, making the structure a place for silence and solitude. The thatched ceiling helps in protecting the ply and increases sound and heat insulation, making the space more ideal for a meditation space...  The dark interior is lit from the bottom corner cut out openings, where light and views are brought in at the level of seating. The coffered ceiling is reflected onto the lit-up floor level by a black tinted mirrored glass flooring, making it a surreal experience of being aware of the top, bottom and the outside all at once when you open your eyes after a surreal internal journey.
