NAYABAZAR MARKETPLACE

Location - Dhulikhel, Kavreplanchowk

2nd yr 1st sem

Community Based Project Involvement - Group

Supervisor - Ar. Bishowdev Bhattarai

This is an Community based project which aimed to research a community and derive a design proposal according to the community need.

For the community, a vibrant marketplace was needed which would help the local community to sell their products like organic foods, clothes and carpentry to tourist visiting Dhulikhel as the demand was enormous.

The main concept for the design was to create a open market place for only selected 4 products and a resting place when not in use. Also, it would act as a symbol to other villages to be designed using local available materials and the aim of the design is to create functional selling and buying experience.

Mixed Used Building Involvement - Individual

Supervisor - Ar. Prajwal Pradhan

This is a mixed used commericial project reimagined in the site of World Trade Center building at Tripureshowr. The design was derived according to the analysis of previous structure of WTC Building.

The Stride is unique in providing more openess to the otherwise built commercial buildings glazed all round. it provides a unique experience as it is not only to cater the shopkeepers and buyers but also to other visitors who are looking for a place to escape into a something else.

The Main idea for the design was to create a floating experience of buildings for the visitors and sellers. The shops above the stairs which are connected with one another with series of vertical and horizontal elements.

Axonometic 3d Modules

The STRIDE provides a unique shopping experience for the people and it also has a gaming arena further back to the site which is elevated above these modules such that it doesnt disturb the visual connection and people can identify which shop they want to enter and choose their path accordingly. similarly, the gaming arena provides an large cantilever deck that overlooks the overall site.

The Documentation was followed by design proposals which are derived from the interviews and analysis of the settlement. The need of a community center was found to be necessary and a community hall to conduct programs, pharmacy with a emergency ward and a Kitchen Space was created which cater the local community and would eventually help in tourism industry.

The map shows the overall map of the settlement of Ramkot village. Survey was done among 87 houses which werent similar to one another. The color code identifies various type of houses and the site for the proposal was selected in southern most entry to the ramkot village.

Conservation Studio Involvement - Group

Supervisor - Ar. Jharna Joshi, Ar. Rajan Shrestha & Ar. salina Rajnakar

The conservation studio was conducted at Kumbeshowr Temple complex at Patan. The documentation of temple complex was done with necessary report prepared for further conservation techniques.

The design Porposal of Information and learning Center was needed to cater the curosity of visitors visiting the Temple complex and it was also necessary for the local young minds to have a reading space where they can carry out their works and know about their culture too.

This shows the original structure which is open frame structure with water tank on the top. It had no relevant purpose around the temple complex as piped water supply is provided to every household.

The height is reduced to maintain Bye-laws and the structure is reimagined with local architecture and today’s need.
