I was born in beautiful country Nepal and I have grown up watching the beautiful mountains!! Taking the mountains as an inspiration.
The concept of this parametric designed “mountain” which is composed different triangular solar panels which are programmed to generate different lighting scenarios using artificial intelligence, in an organic and non-repetitive way. The building design was “guided by the surroundings, influenced by nature and driven by the environment which interconnects nature and technology, light and water.
Technology has been integrated into the design of workplaces is through the incorporation of artificial intelligence, which uses data that can “teach” the machines how to work in several levels of autonomy.
This project uses an intelligence-based system to control the lighting levels of spaces, which minimize the demand for artificial lighting during the day, reducing the building’s overall energy use.
Bringing characteristics of the natural world into built spaces, such as water, greenery, and natural light, or elements like wood and stone. Encouraging the use of natural systems and processes in design allows for exposure to nature, and in turn, these design approaches improve health and wellbeing. There are a number of possible benefits, including reduced heart rate variability and pulse rates, decreased blood pressure, and increased activity in our nervous systems, to name a few. The concept of the shopping mall is based on a fully digital system of online clothes for purchase.
The project takes the use of technology to the physical space of the store to create a new shopping experience. The use of artificial intelligence in this building helps to maintain inside temperature control. This building usually use less energy than the traditional building as well as generate their own energy on site to use in building to address increasing significant environment issue such as climate change, pollution, ecology and population. zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emission building.
Transparent luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) that can be applied to triangular panels which produce solar electricity and stored in building.

The Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal is one of the most populated cities in the country with the population of 3 Million. With the rapid increase in urbanization, open space in Kathmandu is shrinking day by day. As a result, problems such as (a) non availability of parking area, (b) no space of refreshment, (c) lack of greenery space, (d) decrease of ground water availability etc. has arisen.
Considering the problem, I have designed this project of Multifunctional Park taking the reference of Tudhikhel, the central location of Kath- mandu which connects different busy commercial market with large flow of pedestrians. The place is usually packed and the situation there is almost chaotic with the inadequate parking space, footpath space and unmanaged bus stops. It is one of the largest remaining open space in Kathmandu. During the earthquakes of April 2015, it gave shelter thousands of people.
The main idea of this design is to create a multi-functional open public space that can be adaptable, friendly which offers different social and cultural activities. Multi-function open space can be used for different ages and groups/individuals. This space is designed in a such a way that it allows distancing by creating level difference with cycle lane in between the footpaths to minimize conflicts with pedestrians that reduce the crowd which can useful to create distancing between pedestrians.
There are existing trees on site and they will be retained during construction and use as the main design element with recycle plastic seat with circular shape which is inspired by the Nepalese traditional design named Chautari (place to rest). Shade of street trees reduces the temperature which comfort people to walk, cycle, or gather for social activities. The underground parking holds parking spots, hidden inside green park naturally embedded in the landscape inspired by topography of Nepal (Himal, Pahad and Terai). This will reduce the parking space problem of Kathmandu also it will help new-road inner city areas to be vehicle free –“walk-only zones” and can be source of revenue for the local government.
Shaped like dunes which is also used as a bus stop, is weather-protected waiting area for public transport passengers, which are shaped organical- ly to create entrances and exits for the parking space. Further it also functions as the ventilation to let the natural daylight and natural air flow in underground parking area. In the emergency and pandemic situation parking area can be converting to temporary hospital or shelters. The design also ensures the use of recycle plastic materials used in landscape which helps to protect the environment at the same time.
The main idea of this project is to create one of the most advanced, eco-friendly and sustainable building environments which is built with natural materials that reflect philosophies on diversity.
It combines traditional arts and crafts with modern and innovative technical setups and tools to provide a unique innovation opportunity for differently able person (disable).
Building consists of all system and infrastructure required for differently able person to make their daily life easier thus empowers, promotes, generate job opportunities for upgrading their economic and living standards. It has working spaces with required systematic and scientific technologies, skills imparted to them through trainings, afterward manufacture their own products, run their enterprises and also generate employment opportunities for other similar population.
The site is located at Kotashower, Kathmandu, Nepal. It covers area of 4069.9 square meter. The building spaces includes digital craft lab, library, training center, a makerspace, exhibition spaces, markets, and cafe, as well as residential space for them under the one roof. The two-storied buildings with roof top canopies to protect from weather. It consisted of diverse spaces a brightly lit space with a high ceiling, calm space and a lively space. The building facade expresses the building’s character and its function. Principle material used for the building facade is Bamboo. With the help of local craftsmen, split bamboo rods will be arranged into a parametrically generated lattice in outer and inner surface with highly reflective glass in between the bamboo lattice. This eco-friendly and dynamic surface will be naturally treated for weather protection.
When people enter in the space, they could feel a friendly and welcoming atmosphere together with the balance between architecture, technology and nature
Accessible from all directions, “Welcome, feeling at building” features zero carbon emissions, renewable energy resources, consumption control, rainwater harvesting, green areas and endemic species, etc. All buildings floors will be provided with elevators and with ramps to provide access for the differently able people (disabled people).
Generous green courtyards at the center of building with natural light and ventilation will host specific public activities, events, art and craft exhibitions, and product fairs will take place in the courtyard.
Building structure will be entirely made of waste engineered wood, which not only dramatically reduces its carbon footprint, but also allows it to be completely reusable.
In terms of materials, the development combines concrete for the foundations and basement, steel, glass, wood and bamboo above ground, to generate natural and contemporary architecture.
Robotic systems will be used to create the effective and efficient way to help people with disabilities to perform the activities that they desire and also helping to give them more independence.
The system of energy generation along with the vital use of photovoltaic panels (solar panels) to power the entire building., that allow the building to reach maximum sustainability levels.

I want to start with the small story of a boy from small town who never want to go to school because he doesn’t like the environment the way it is and that small boy is me, the thing that I have experienced in my life I never want to give to the future generation. We can’t change education system but we can change learning environment, educational space should create a feeling of great eagerness about learning and increase creative ways of thinking.
The concept of this school design is to create safe, innovative learning environments that motivate students, support teaching and learning. There are countless number of empty unused shipping containers that can be used and recycled to create the learning environment. So, using unused shipping containers to create colorful learning environment where discovery, curiosity, interaction with nature and activity-based learning that encouraged to promote children’s holistic development.
The site is located at Kathmandu, Nepal. It covers area of 4069.9 square meter. The building space includes auditorium hall, lab, library, exhibition space, classroom, underground sound proof classroom, (presentation hall, music classroom, Dance Hall), administration block, canteen. The two storied building with roof top canopies.
The design of this Schools offers effective indoor and outdoor qualities to motivate students. Learning in appropriate physical spaces, indoor and outdoor learning spaces such as comfortable paths and walkways, light sources and natural features of a landscape. Light is an incredible motivator for learning spaces so using maximum natural daylight in school. Courtyard planning that act as a buffer zone which absorb the unwanted sound, produces less amount noise in the building and also provide maximum day light to the class room require no additional electrical lighting during the daytime. All rain water are harvest and treated on site from roof with arritation process that can be the main focal point of the school space where water element (water fall) is used as main architectural feature in school. The water element in open spaces has a high aesthetic value. Water has an effect of relaxing and detracting from stress in the space where it exists along with its therapeutical feature that can help student to more focus on holistic development.
The green roof contributed to energy efficiency building that required less heating or cooling, which makes it easier to keep spaces comfortable and required less amount of energy consumption. Green roofs that are there to insulate and manage stormwater runoff,” For further internal comfort, natural ventilation allows the building to be passively cooled in summer, with minimal heating back-up in winter.
