The Gnostic Centre is a spiritual and academic learning campus located between Delhi and its suburb Gurgaon. Its landscape and architecture act as an oasis of contemplation and unity with nature. It includes a conference center, a tea pavilion, a guesthouse, cottages for residents- all organized on multiple interconnected plots of land, surrounded by farmland and suburban “farms”. The buildings are equipped with decentralized anaerobic wastewater treatment systems that release water used for irrigation. The conference center is a renovated building covered by a double brick dome. Its veranda is adjacent to the bamboo tea pavilion semi-covered by a hyperbolic paraboloid pergola, built with bamboo. The guest house was created by retrofitting an existing two-story brick structure. Cottages for long-term campus residents were subsequently built on a site adjacent to the guesthouse.
