PEMA TRIAD

Location : Teku, Kathmandu

Concept

Triratna is a sanskrit term that translates to “Three Jewels” this term refers to the three fundamental principle of Buddhism, which are Buddha, his teachings,. and the sangha, which represents community o f individuals who follows Buddha’s teachings. Triratna emphasizes the importance of spiritual companionship and community, encouraging i ndividuals to work together to support each other’s spiritual practices.

Additionally, Triratna highlights the practice of meditation as a means of developing mindfulness and awareness. By cultivating a regular meditation practice, individuals can learn to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, leading to greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.

Strategy

The Pema Triad is a mixed use urban manufacturing complex that encompasses three distinct areas: a production unit, mind retreat spaces, and co-working spaces. At the heart of the production unit lies the production of Tibetan incense, a significant component of Buddhist culture. In addition to the production of incense, the complex produces incense holders, incense mazes, and singing bowls. The mind retreat spaces offer activities such as yoga, meditation, singing bowl therapy, massage therapy, tea meditation, and herb gardening. The complex also grows herbs, which serve as raw materials for incense production. As a mixed-use urban manufacturing building, the complex values the community and has designated co-working spaces and rental spaces.

Handmade Incense Workshop

Space Type : 2

In this mixed use complex, there is a workshop that holds great value to the community. It is a space where the traditional method of making incense by hand is showcased and taught, ensuring that this important aspect of the culture and tradition is not lost in the face of modern techniques and equipment for incense making.

This lounge space provides a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for individuals to connect with one another, whether it be for casual conversation or to discuss business matters. With its strategic location, it also serves as a convenient meeting spot for colleagues to gather and discuss on matters. The buffer space which might have been unused due to the obstruction of the column has been transformed improving the functionality of the space and also improving a more social and collaborative work environment.

One area within the complex has been specifically designed with the “cathedral effect” in mind. This refers to the phenomenon where working in a high-ceilinged environment can inspire loftier ideas and enhance creativity. Conversely, working in a small and compact space can facilitate better focus and analytical work.

By combining these two types of spaces, a workplace can cater to the needs of a variety of tasks, such as in an architecture studio where both creativity and analytical work are essential.

Rental Office Space Space Type : 3

The central courtyard of the complex is a versatile space that serves as the heart of the establishment, allowing visitors and employees to socialize and enjoy each other’s company. The open layout and inviting atmosphere are ideal for socialization, while the surrounding steps serve as a unique drying platform for wet agarwood blocks, an essential component in the production of incense.

The central courtyard complex is a gathering for both visitors ees, allowing them and chat.

The courtyard provides a sensory experience that heightens appreciation for the traditions and craftsmanship of the establishment, with the aroma of the drying agarwood blocks creating an unforgettable stimulation.

A residence is a place where people can express their personality and individuality through home decor, landscaping, and other personal touches allowing individual expression.

The newlywed couple aimed to construct a home that would symbolize the start of their new life, featuring a cozy living space and a sufficient heating, cooling, and ventilation system. Additionally, they desired an aesthetically pleasing design that would reflect their unique style and taste.

The client asked for a vibrant living area and a family room, combined with an open plan layout that incorporates the kitchen and dining room into a more spacious area. They also requested a front yard and backyard that could be used by the children and family members to spend time together, along with a kitchen garden located just outside the kitchen door.

G.C.R : 39% constructing affordable houses involves creating designs that are attractive and appropriate for small families residing in the southern plains of Nepal, speregion. Due to the extreme heat in this part of the country, with temperatures occasionally reaching 40-45 degrees Celsius during the summer season, it is well-ventilated interiors that can mitigate and reduce the heat inside the building, potentially preventing heatstroke.

incorporated the traditional rectangular layout of the Terai settlements, which is already suitable for the region’s hot, humid, and windy climate. In addition, this area heavy rainfall during the monsoon season and unexpected downpours during winter. To combat these weather conditions, we have installed a sloping roof wind and heavy rainfall. The roof features two slopes pitched at different angles, creating a space between them that allows for ventilation and the circuinside while expelling warm air outside. To prevent water damage, the plinth has been elevated one and a half feet above the ground, allowing water to flow during floods and blocking dampness.

In order to construct an affordable, environmentally friendly, sustainable house in the Terai region, we have opted for as one of the best building materials. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that can meet the demand for low-cost housing als. Building a bamboo house requires less manpower, homeowner can maintain it themselves with ease. Moreover, bamboo houses are less harmful to the environment since are both recyclable and biodegradable. To address the remote housing where electrical lines are scarce, we stalled photovoltaic panels to generate electricity.

The flooring of the house is comprised of decked bamboo, laid with a woven bamboo mat. The walls are constructed setting up half-cut bamboo in an interlocking pattern. mud plaster is applied onto the bamboo, followed by thick cement plaster to give a smooth finish on both roof is also constructed using half-cut bamboo in an ing pattern, allowing rainwater to be collected via a gutter.

The Bishram pavilion is an innovative structure made of bamboo and cables, designed to offer a welcoming public space for social gatherings and relaxation. With its simple yet flexible design, this cost-effective pavilion can be easily transported to other locations.

The design of the pavilion is based on the fundamental principle of a three-bar tensegrity structure, which offers stability and strength. The structure is partly enclosed with bamboo planks on two sides, while the front facade remains open to create a welcoming and accessible environment for visitors.

In summary, the Bishram pavilion presents a versatile and inviting space for people to gather and relax, all while highlighting the advantages of sustainable materials and design concepts. Its straightforward design and ease of transport make it a suitable structure for various public spaces and occasions.

The main principle of the structure “Bishram” is that it is a self supporting structure in which the total push equals total pull and the structure doesn’t depend on gravity. The members acts as isolated components and the compressed members do not touch each other. The prestressed tensioned members are arranged along with the compressed members to make the system stable.

By spacing out the bamboo planks, various areas within the pavilion can be distinguished for different activities. This unique arrangement of light and shadow contributes to a sense of transparency and weightlessness within the structure.

The main principle behind the construction of the “Bishram” pavilion is that it is self-supporting and does not rely on gravity, with total push equaling total pull. The components of the structure operate independently of each other, with the compressed members remaining separate. To ensure stability, pre-stressed tensioned elements are positioned next to the compressed members.

The objective of the design is to provide a stable and visually appealing structure that is both functional and eco-friendly. The pavilion features hyperboloid shapes on two sides, with the third side open to the public. When viewed from the ground up, the structure gradually extends upward, reaching towards the sky.
