the University of Gujrat, Pakistan, inspired by the
concept of cyberspace — blending physical and digital
environments. The sleek, modern structure features
glass, integrated lighting, and dynamic lines. It offers
user-friendly technologies like USB ports, interactive

guiding structure that leads visitors through a
series of sensory experiences, creating a
journey that is not just physical, but also emotional
and sensory. This design is not just a visual
spectacle, but a journey that engages all five
senses, creating an immersive and interactive
environment. The paths lead visitors on a
journey of discovery, with each turn
revealing a new sensory experience. The maze
