2018
The Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area of New Mexico managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. It is located 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Numerous tributary creeks to the Rio Grande flow through this unit, which abuts Rio Grande Valley State Park.The land that was operated for decades as a dairy farm. After the closure of this facility, it became a potential development site for suburban homes, but in 2011 the site was earmarked for federal improvements, and in 2012 it was transferred to the United States Fish & Wildlife Service. The proposed visitor center acts as a medium between visitor and natural habitat at the refuge. The prominence of the location along the Rio Grande corridor is providing the scope for Aquia to be a prominent feature within and outside the building. The site has a great views all around, the Sandia mountains to the east, the Rio Grande river to the west and agricultural fields all around providing the opportunity to create open spaces and views throughout the building.

Upon the initial thought of how to protect and preserve Wildlife Refuge and make it accessible to people at the same time, the building’s design sought inspiration from scenic views all around the site. The visitor experiences the 360 degree views all around the site through decks, ramps and bigger viewpoint platforms. The structure allows the bikers to bike to the top of roof through 1:20 slope ramps.

Project Brief
PORTFOLIO
2018
We find that religious diversity is a significant and robust correlate of civil conflict. This is most robust at the second level of aggregation which implies that the cleavage between Hindus, Muslims, Jews, and Christians etc. is more relevant than that between either sub groups of religions like Protestants and Catholics, Shias and Sunnis, etc. or that between higher levels of aggregation like Abrahamic and Indian religions. “In virtually every heterogeneous society, religious difference serves as a source of potential conflict” (Brahm,2005). Moreover, as Fox (1997) points out, conflicts such as the civil wars in Afghanistan, the former Yugoslavia and th e Sudan, the peace process in Israel and the conflict in Northern Ireland are essentially all conflicts between ethnic groups of different religions.”
13
The vertical cemetery for the Death of Religious Tolerance represents a structure with conflict both inside and outside. The teared-up spaces themselves form as floors with uneven surface causing the visitor an uncomfortable feeling. The primary circulation is through ramps and glass tunnels. Outer space is filled with huge intricate geometry of carbon fibers.
top Examples for Religious Intolerance bottom Conceptual models To conceptualize what a religious system undergoes when it experience conflicts, a foam core was exposed to fire, to understand how a material reacts when it undergoes tension.

Concept ”’I am not so much interested in ethics or morals,’ wrote the founder of deep ecology, Arne Naess. ‘I am interested in how we experience the world.’ Our experience of the world is a fusion between the internal landscape of our minds and our constructed reality. In this ‘mental ecology,’ to use Pallasmaa’s term, our body is the pivotal point of interface.” - Sarah Robinson, “Of Havens” The design process has begun with rigorous research on religion and religious conflicts. The fundamental motive of religion is to keep the humans stable in nature but when it began growing, the perception of religion by humans have changed and domination of one religion over other is increased. Not only in between the religions but within the religions like Sunni-Shia, catholics - Protestians, Hindu caste system, Russian orthodox system etc., making the world a worst place to live in. The initial concepts were derived by applying tension on various materials like foam, wood, steel etc., and observed how every material reacts when it undergo tension. Further iterations helped to derive a structure with teared up spaces forming as Rumination space, Columbarium etc. Carbon Fiber is chosen as building material because of its brittle in nature, being stronger material than steel resembling a religion which is created to create strength in humanity but ended up creating conflicts between humans. Visitors have to walk through a glass tunnel to reach upper floors to get an insight of the intricate geometry outside the tunnel. Uneven floor spaces creates a discomfort making visitors realize how a religion when undergoes conflicts creates a disturbance in one’s life.

Primary influence of design for this building is the urban position of the site. Located in a prime location across Central Avenue, Albuquerque with the Sandia mountains in the east and a commercial urban zone in the south, the site itself is an urban heat island. The motive is to create a public space for the city and creative space for students which responds to the urban conditions and program conditions.

Vitality Ziggurats Landmarker for a Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico
Project Type: Monumental // Competition Location: New Mexico, USA Tools: Google SketchUp, Vray, Illustrator, Photoshop Fall 2017: The University of New Mexico Competition Organizer: Archoutloud Collaborator: Gabriel Gaytan
Project Brief Challenge: To design a marker or marker system to deter inadvertent human intrusion into the waste isolation pilot plant. The marker should exist as a means of passive institutional control of the site for the duration of 10,000 years following the closure and deactivation of WIPP.
The concept is based on how electrons move and orbit around a central point in any atomic structure. This concept enabled us to organize our structures around the area that has the most radioactive material and prevent future generations from reaching the site. The Ziggurats are made of sandstone to stay standing for an extended period. We organized the structures around the site with hieroglyphics on the sides in the 6 languages that the United Nations recognize. These markings will be informing anyone that is passing through that there is radioactive material in the area.

The purpose of the marker is to communicate with future generations that transuranic waste is buried within a repository at the facility located 2150 feet beneath its surface and should remain isolated until the risks posed by its release have been sufficiently diminished.

Villas at Glade One Villas of Varying Configurations
Project Type: Residential Work Type: Professional Internship: Khosla associates, India Project Manager: Bijetha Bachaspathi Location: Ahmedabad, India Tools: AutoCad, Google SketchUp, Lumion Date: March 2014
Project Brief The harmonious relationship of the villa to the landscape is crucial in this design, so is the seamless transition between enclosed and open spaces.
The response to each of the linear sites (approximately 50 ft. x 130 ft.) was to create a central 5 ft. wide spine that would traverse the entire 65 ft. length of the villa, beginning at the entrance foyer and culminating at the living room and deck overlooking the course. Correspondingly, and as a gesture to the golf course and surrounding green, it was chosen to create a sloping roof form that would gently open up to the view. The form gradually ascends along the spine and creates large overhangs shading the outdoor deck.

In the Glade One development, owing to the wonderful surrounding natural environment created by a 250 acre Gary Player designed golf course, an opportunity was found to explore these ideas further.The primary goal was to create villas of varying configurations that would emerge gentle from the landscape and orient themselves to the primary views of the course.

One Bedroom Villa The One bedroom villa was the basic configuration out of which all other permutations grew. In this basic plan, the central axis has rooms on either side; kitchen and dining on one side and a bedroom that opens onto a side verandah and a lap pool on the other. The axis culminates in a large living room. The living room opens out into an ample L shaped deck, which spills out into a 1500 sft main garden.
