Embark on a mystical journey through the museum‘s architecture, where each design and detail unveil hidden threads of mystical meaning. Beginning in the serene garden, the gentle sounds of the central fountain and the surrounding floral beauty invite you to connect with the inner paradise. As you move through the building, you will discover how each architectural element whispers profound messages infused with Sufi wisdom, bridging the ancient and the contemporary. Ascending the three floors, you traverse a multisensory, contemplative path that mirrors the Sufi quest—from earth to sky—inviting deep reflection and inward exploration. Here, the spirit of place merges with the spirit of self, aligning heart, mind, and body in a transformative experience of flow and unity, guiding you seamlessly from outside to within. Nooshin Esmaeili is a registered architect in Canada, a sessional university instructor, and a PhD scholar. Her research pushes the boundaries of traditional architecture through a transdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from philosophy, spirituality, environmental psychology, and neuroscience.
By exploring the spatial poetics of wisdom traditions and their connection to architecture, Nooshin seeks to uncover how built environments can deepen our connection to inner dimensions and foster holistic human flourishing, ultimately promoting inner peace and wellbeing. Her work explores the intersection of architecture, wellbeing, and self-transcendence through a mystical lens, particularly inspired by Sufism. She investigates the timeless qualities of built environments that resonate universally, transcending religion, background, language, and ethnicity. Guide tour in english
