Hi, I am Anup Poudel, a fourth year architecture student who is strong believer in the ability of the architecture with design thinking for strengthening our societies and having a positive effect on the world. I like to think and be creative. I like to design mostly contemporary buildings but I love to try designing new and different things. I am challenged and have always wanted to practice myself in many styles of architecture.
The project is basically designed in keeping with the identity of the old town of Butwal city. The location chosen was preceded by a fort area where the Anglo-Nepalese War took place. Hence, in order to revive the ancient essence of the region and to revive the culture and tradition of the place, an interpretation center has been built in the Jitagadi Fort site.
