The Punggol Soka Centre was envisioned to be an Open Citadel that embraces all yet bears fortitude to safeguard the good foundation of Soka Gakkai’s values of peace, culture and education. It exudes a dignified yet cordial presence.
Interspersed with a series of courtyards, the seemingly fort-like building is perforated with meaningful spaces that opens out to nature. Nature permeates deeply into the interior spaces, providing a sanctuary that welcomes all.
These interspersed courtyards allow for a series of varied environments, moments and ambience for everyday discourse, relaxation and engagement. To observe nature and for quiet contemplation. The open citadel aspires to be an oasis of happiness for everyone.
