me and my friends the opportunity for observing the tangibility of our theory and education. It was a break from regular theory too. Every knowing and unknowing was learning and opportunity because we were somehow allow to commit faults and get them corrected. Every supports I acknowledge and especially the firm I was involved, ASPL was more than drafting and commands. It was more about leading skills and the entire skills an architect should have for efficient office environment.
I got to observe the charisma of head architect himself and every single architect and agencies involved for efficiency. This somehow led me to see all ups and downs from the closer distance During my practicum, I joined Architect’s Studio, as a trainee architect for over 90 days. This practicum report compiles my experience as trainee architect on various projects and respective learning I got to earn.

Mr. Binod Ojha, a businessman, approached ASPL about developing a Farmhouse style residence with a modern external and interior planning approach. I was tasked with redesigning and remodeling the present conceptual planning and volume in order to take a more modern and distinctive approach. I was lucky enough to meet the client and participate in everything from redesigning to remodeling to building services and regular site visits throughout construction. The customer wanted to see creative spaces in the building as it had to be designed in a way that was in harmony with the existing nature and reflected the spirit of nature.

Site Highlights
The house's first idea was based on contemporary residential style, but following consultation and meeting with the client, I was given the chance to reform the plan with the notion of Farmhouse style modern residence design. The planning goal was to create intriguing areas within the existing layout. Initially, I analyzed the current plan and conducted case studies and zoning before proposing my conceptual program inside the existing plan, and after receiving approval, I began reforming the existing plan with new updated conceptual planning.

INTRODUCTION
Mr. Ram Kumar Shah met with the ASPL team to discuss renovating his current home.From site measurement, 3D creation, and rendering, to precise working drawings for the contractor, I was given the task of managing the renovation process. The client wished to improve his outer façade while maintaining the original interior spaces and structural integrity. In addition, I had to install the additional structure to the building and manage the parking space for it. I was given the task of creating a detailed working design for municipal use while adhering to the bylaws for the new planned projection.I had the excellent opportunity to contribute my ideas and concepts to the renovation project while working under the direction of the chief architect.

Site was located in between cluster of buildings and road access was from southern side alone. Many temporary structures surrounding the construction site were planned for demolition. With the assistance of a site engineer, the site was carefully measured, and an approximate site was drawn along with the room size, height, staircase detail, railing detail, projection, and overall covered area.Both parking spaces and a place for kitchen gardening were available on the property. Following site and building measurements, the site was sketched out along with the elevation

INTRODUCTION
Mr. Sudhir Sharma is a contractor by profession, and he visited the ASPL team to design his residential property with a modern external and interior design. I was tasked with redesigning and remodeling the present conceptual planning and volume in order to develop a more modern and unique approach. I was lucky enough to meet the client and participate in everything from redesigning to remodeling to building services and frequent site visits throughout construction. The customer wanted to see interesting spaces in the building as it had to be designed in a way that was in sync with the existing nature and reflected the spirit of nature.

CONCLUSION
My career has certainly benefited from the practical experience. It benefited me professionally as well as technically, academically, and generally. Working in a professional business would need managing the duties and being aware of the rules Senior architects and other co working experts also provided valuable guidance at this time. The architects are not solitary. This area of work is connected to several associated professions .
It has given me a platform on which to work professionally and taught me how to put my knowledge and ideas into practice in a logical manner on an appropriate canvas, which is more important. My social and organizational abilities have also greatly improved over this time. In summary, this practicum program has been very helpful to me and will further my development of both my career and personality as I work toward being a skilled architect.
Through this practicum, I received a sense of that professional experience working at ASPL as a trainee architect. I've gained a lot of expertise in planning, designing, and other types of architectural designs with the guidance and support of senior architects. I am grateful that the workplace offered me the opportunity to work and spread information and understanding in a variety of ways. My understanding of the practical and realistic approach to entering this sector as a profession has improved because to this practicum experience.
