SANCHI UNIVERSITY
Sanchi Buddhist University is envisioned as a serene academic retreat set on the hills beside the historic Sanchi Stupa. Rooted in Buddhist philosophy and the natural landscape, the campus is designed as a journey—from the material to the mindful.

Inspired by Anulom, the Buddhist principle of moving in harmony with the natural order, the university unfolds gradually through dense greenery, revealing itself as a hidden sanctuary. Landscaped pathways transition from hard to soft surfaces, symbolising a shift from the outer world to a calmer, more contemplative realm of learning.
The architecture draws directly from nature, with floating green roofs and earth-built forms crafted in rammed earth. Abundant natural light, ventilation, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections create spaces that are sustainable, timeless, and deeply humane.

Academic and residential blocks are clustered to encourage interaction, dialogue, and community living—reinforcing positive communication and Buddhist values of mindfulness and coexistence. Overlooking the entire campus is a monumental Buddha statue, offering vision, guidance, and spiritual presence to the learning spaces below.
Together, landscape, architecture, and philosophy converge to create a cohesive environment where education becomes an immersive, reflective experience.
