Vitality Ziggurats Year - Fall 2017 Collaborated with Chaitanya Korra Loca on - New Mexico The concept is based o 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 radioac ve material and prevent future genera ons 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 Na ons recognize. These markings will be informing anyone that is passing through that there is radioacve material in the area.

Capilla Peak Resiliency Center Year - Fall 2016 Collaborated with Ifreet Rahiima Instructor - Alex Webb & Ane Gonzalez Lara Loca on - Capilla Peak, Nm The center is located on top of mountain and lets the user take in all the views around them while also camping or learning about the area.
