Learning from Auroville's seed; in quest for the (unrecognizable) eternal space-time

Is there an architecture that can lead us beyond the dimensions of space and time? Could this be called an eternal space-time ? Imagine a place of unity on a planet wounded by wars. What would be the role of an eternal space-time here? Even if these questions seem to be almost science-fiction, they are being inspired by a true project. In 1968, in South India, the foundation of Auroville, a city that was born of the unusual aspiration to be a place for human elevation, was taking place. In this paper, we will be looking at Auroville’s conception from a “space-time” window and relating the seed of its architecture with the spiritual guidance that the project was receiving. In the conclusion, we will be verifying if what we can learn from this case study can lead us to a deeper understanding of the role of space-time in the building of that which is sacred.
