GRADUATE ACADEMIC WORK | TYKESON HALL |
Location: University of Oregon, Eugene The Tykeson Hall College and careers building is the university’s center for integrating academic study, academic advising, and career support services. It is a hub for both academic success and for success beyond the university. The central goal of this project is to promote student success, which is facilitated by a series of supporting services and skills that promotes student success.
INITIAL CONCEPT
The College of Arts and Sciences was spread throughout 83 buildings on and off campus and lacked a central focus for students in its 46 degree programs. Tykeson Hall provides a home for the College of Arts and Sciences(CAS), a central transparent place with a hearth that unites people from different disciplines.

This project goal is to create a strong sense of community while strengthening the overall functionality of the campus and taking advantage of the natural surrounding and the existing site conditions. Connections between the building wings were articulated with glass to break down the building scale, bring daylight inside the building, and provide views to the landscape. Outside, native plants were used to eliminate irrigation. This project was successfully completed on time and on budget.

The western part of the building is directly connected to the campus quad allowing people inside to connect to the broader campus context and allowing activities that need more area to spill outdoors.

DESIGN CONSIDERATION
These are transitional shelters proposed for Haiti. These shelters are made of simple material that could be easily repurposed. They are designed to maximize the ease of construction and comfort of the occupants. They have the potential to expand due to its modularity and the materials used in construction. The materials used are readily available in Haiti and the construction technology is simple enough for local communities to construct.

SITE PLAN
The proposal divides the site into two distinct pieces. The market hall and the courtyard space maintain the scale the Downtown whereas the Plaza connects the site with the park blocks. The Main idea is to develop a connection between these two spaces while retaining public spaces for people to interact and socialize.

PASSIVE COOLING DESIGN DESIGN INTENT: Proposing Passive Strategies of Cooling to an existing design. These Elderly Dormitories will cater to about 50 elderly individuals at Lakewood, Colorado. Originally, this structure was a part of my Elderly Retreat program in Kathmandu, Nepal done as part of my undergradute project. The major reason behind selecting this project was to analyze the various implications of passive heating and cooling firstly on a south facade bulding at varying altitude. Proposed Site Location: Lakewood, Colorado
UPPER LEVEL
2253 ft2 roof pond The dry pond surface calculation showed that a depth of 5 inches is required. This strategy does not interfere with the building’s appearance as it is not visible from ground level.
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
Two cool tower each of height 15 ft and size 16ft2 to remove heat gain in the intermediate level. Heat removed by cool tower: 30838.8 Btu/h Rate of internal gain(building occupied) = 8 Btu/h ft2 x 1967ft2 = 15,736 Btu/h
LOWER LEVEL Two cool tower each of height 15 ft and size 16ft2 to remove heat in intermediate and lower level which is 30838.8 Btu/h, is more than adequate for both levels Rate of internal gain(building occupied)=10Btu/hft2x 2862.5ft2 = 28,625 Btu/h Heat removed by cool tower: 30838.8 Btu/h The total water consumed by the cooling tower in order to cool both the second and third floor is 50.8 gal/h.

DESIGN BILDS OregonBILDS (Building Integrated Livable Designs Sustainably) is a design-build studio program at the University of Oregon where students collaboratively design and build one residence per year. Each project explores the nature of sustainable architecture in relation to affordable residential design. It gives an opportunity for students to design and connect with building professionals, material vendors, city officials, utility companies and community service agencies. In this project I was part of the Construction Team.

Barahi Jungle Lodge is an exclusive luxury resort in Meghauli, Chitwan (Chitwan National Park). This retreat is nestled on 12.18 hectares of land surrounded by pristine wilderness and various types of flora and fauna native to the Chitwan district and the National Park are found. The major objective of this project is to design a eco - luxury resort that reflects the local culture and architecture. All locally available materials were used and vernacular art and crafts were emphasised. The lodge offers 35 deluxe boutique guest rooms, built as individual and two-in-one private villas, including one suite with a private swimming pool.

10 AASHRAYA
The dome shaped design has a long history of success. In 2005, a German technician living in Kashmir named Titus Gall developed it to create shelter for victims of a 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. Then, in 2010, a tour company owner and operator named Eli Kretzmann implemented the design to help bring relief to some of the 8 million people displaced by a huge summer flooding in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
AASHRAYA was an initiative taken by me and six more colleagues in Nepal to provide emergency shelter for people who were affected by the Nepal 2015 Earthquake. Number of temporary shelters constructed by AASHRAYA in Nepal:2,300 Group Members: Sugandha Subedi, Kumar Yonjan, Gopal Kunwar, Rakesh Maharjan, Sapana Shakya, Dristi Manandhar, Prashant Sharma
VOLUNTEERING EXPERIENCE | TRANSITIONAL SHELTER |
The 2015 Nepal earthquake, killed more than 7,000 people and injured more than 20,000 people. The earthquake had crippled the day-today life of many villages and people in Nepal.
STRAY/ HAY ROOF
PLASTIC SHEET
With millions of homeless Nepalese people compelled to live on tents on open fields, an alternative shelter was a current need. And with monsoon looming, it was even more essential to create affordable, quick and efficient alternative living space for these people.
CORRUGATED SHEETS HOLLOW SUPPORTS BAMBOO RAFTERS REBAR EARTH BERM
ADDITIONAL FEATURES TO ENHANCE LIVABILITY FOR NEPAL
In addition to the original concept, following considerations have been made in the design proposal. Cross ventilation • Maintaining cross-ventilation by introducing lower windows on the windward side of the building and higher windows on the leeward side for upward draft of the heated air. Insulation (Heat & Sound) • Adding an extra heat & sound insulating layer of locally available straw/hay on the corrugated sheet. • Placing a damp-proofing protective layer of plastic sheet between the corrugated sheet and insulating layer of straw/hay. Structure stabilization • Stabilizing the lightweight structure by introducing earth berm. • Introducing vertical and horizontal bands at openings. • Tying the three hollow metal pipes at plinth, ridge, sill & lintel levels and extending the ties into the masonry walls.

Under LUMANTI for a community Balambu, we proposed a low-cost landscape proposal and presented in front of thecommunity. For this project i was involved in carrying out surveys and preparation of 3D drawings.
Everest Build II held in Kavre, Nepal 2012 focused on building 40 houses. As one of the volunteers i worked alongside Habitat home partners to construct houses with sundried brick, treated bamboo and corrugated roofing made of metal.
