monastery complex design, pokhara
Karma Siddha
freelance project- ongoing
“The design of a monastery is a reflection of the monk’s inner journey, where every brick, archway, and window carries the weight of devotion and the yearning for divine communion.”
devastated and shattered in the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, the monastery is under construction by the GoN, while the monastery complex is an ongoing design process. the design for the monk accomodation has been created until now; having two parts: one for the senior monks and the other for the junior monks, with a special multifunctional hall and parking area.

“Architecture is beyond the construction of an object. The end goal is the improvement of various aspects of people’s lives, of people’s well being, in the present and in the future, and the object is merely a tool for an architect in achieving that.”
