In the Aravali Biodiversity Park project, for example, we relied on local rock gabion walls to terrace the amphitheater, ensuring the structure integrates seamlessly with the rugged terrain rather than imposing itself upon it. When designing for the public, our primary obligation is to the landscape and the collective experience. This means rejecting standard, high-carbon materials in favor of what the site already offers. At the Samadhaan Hub, this meant treating waste as a primary building block. We collaborated with local NGOs to create an interpretation center where the walls themselves are built from recycled steel mesh, construction debris, and discarded bottles. By reimagining these materials, the space becomes an educational tool for zero-waste living. The architectural form follows the function of the site. The Aravali amphitheater is not merely a seating arrangement. It is a calculated response to the natural slope, carved into the earth using techniques that prevent soil erosion and promote biodiversity. We aim to prove that institutional spaces in NCR can function as quiet sanctuaries, fostering community gatherings while remaining firmly rooted in the local ecology. Whether it is an open-air workshop space or a tiered performance venue, our goal remains constant: to craft environments that grow from the ground up. ## About Saka Studio We have been chasing the idea that architecture can be poetry since 1999. Whether we are transforming a waste site into a hub for community learning or carving an amphitheater into the Aravali hills, our focus stays the same: listening to the land and the people who will inhabit it.
