site
This 11th Century Solid Black Granite Statue is visited by tourists from India and abroad to seek blessings, as stories about its immense healing properties have spread far and wide. The site harbors the passing Kolamkarumadi ferry route through a tributary of the Pampa River in the vicinity. The site chosen has been split into two sides across the river to assemble a natural biosphere. The existing agricultural fields and landscape align with the Buddhist views of the retreat.
// form development
A circle is very significant in Buddhism. The 7 Chakras, the Dharmchakra, and the snails on Buddha’s head are circular. Circles signify that life is ever-changing and progressing. This concept is also one of the central principles of the Three Universal Truths in Buddhism philosophy. In addition to the circle, the derivative forms of the lotus petals segregate the spaces from each other.
// concept
The Circle of Life integrates the principles of the Eightfold Path followed by the Buddhists in the different zones. These spaces and the spatial axes stand in harmony with the Buddhist Chakra. Because the lotus grows in muddy water, it symbolizes the purity of the enlightened mind arising amidst the sufferings. The forms and curves are inspired by the lotus petals and derived into the spaces. The retreat aspires to unblock the 7 Chakras (or energy channels of the body) to allow free-flowing positive energy through the body throughout the stay.

// experience
Sitting beyond the tributary of the Padma river is the Circle of Life. The retreat surrounds itself with the sounds of the waves as the ferry passes by. It brings on itself the aim to achieve a blissful state of mind by targeting all seven chakras of the body of the visitors. The openness of the curved spaces, derived from the glowing in the impure lotus, allows for interaction not just with nature but the unknown lives of hundreds surrounding them. As the sun rises and glows upon the crops growing beyond the retreat center, a fresh new morning awaits every day. The Circle of Life takes this fresh energy to the 8 Spaces created following the Buddhist Eightfold Path and invites you to hold a pose in the Yoga Centre, pick some crops in the agricultural fields, sip a coffee in the café, take a ferry ride down the river, calm yourself under the trees of the meditation center, cleanse yourself in a spa or learn the Buddhist philosophies in the Book Reading Center. Right from the entrance to the views from the river, the focus instantly diverts to the 2 Buddhas facing each other. The now versus then. The modern versus ancient. The dark versus bright. The dark Buddha with a broken hand, surrounded by Buddhist prayer bells, sits and proves how an 11th Century piece of art can make a pilgrimage site, and the Circle of Life rejuvenates the Statue and brings back its lost importance. The circular form of the building emphasizes the all-inclusive Buddhist philosophies that unite all in the circle of life, signifying its ever-changing and progressing nature.

Let us go back to the times when man and wild co-existed. The time when memories of the wild were not as fearful. The time when the paintings in the caves showed love, adventure, and togetherness. When did this love and co-existence with nature and the wilderness change into fear and authoritative cages? Ubuntu Glamping aims to change the way humanity perceives the wild and nature.

// view
The pod has panoramic views on all four sides to enjoy the scenic site.
// modularity
The module is independent of the site. The collapsable floor slabs and foldable exoskeleton allow one to relocate the pod efficiently.
// technology
The pod uses an alternate electromagnet and metal mechanism, helping the lightweight pod levitate through the air.
// control
The height can be adjusted by the glampers, using the app which controls the strength of the electromagnets.
// sustainability
The pod allows the minimal cut and fill with the land and helps retain the topsoil. for flood-prone and earthquake-prone locations.

THE PYRAMID OF LIFE
The Race to the Top
Top 30 Archzig Render Awards 2022
In collaboration with: Yash Jadiya
Think of a house… any house. What comes to mind? Magnificient mansions, enormous villas, well-lit pools, fancy gardens, dazzling outdoors. But what do these shiny houses represent? Pretty lights turned on through the night? Fridges running through the day? Or the acres that were taken away from the Earth’s share? Rising to the tiers and reaching to the heavenly glasshouses is a need. A need to be above and beyond. Beyond others. But is it worth ignoring the harmless nature, the fellow beings, and rising to the standards where there’s nothing but emptiness? The ones who understand are working hard to sustain it. To revive what we have already lost. To rejuvenate the value of what we have already sold. Does the status of the house define that of the heart? So ask yourself, where do you stand in the Pyramid of Life?
