 The terrain slopes in steps, layers, and levels, defined by sharp cliffs, chiseled edges, and smooth, weathered boulders. During the monsoon, rainwater spreads across the slope in minute streams, sudden gushes, and gentle spurts, always cool to the touch. This seasonal flow becomes a constant, prominent movement, experienced by all senses. The streams travel over diverse surfaces, shifting in speed and weight as they interact with different textures. Water finds its way through the finest gaps, resting in the smallest dips, before continuing its journey. These moving and collected waters become home to fleeting ecosystems, naturally irrigating weeds and small plants. Their adhesion to stone and concrete carries them across slopes, through drains, over roads, and beneath them. I aim to bring this interplay of movement, stillness, sound, and temperature into my structure, as an indented extension of the rock cliff itself, embodying both the flow of water and the resulting biodiversity.
