ABSTRACT Architecture, unlike other fields of engineering is truly a practical field where learning is a process. The results here are directly relative to the need and demand of humans. Form and Function are two vital part of architecture. Practicum, a practical section of a course of study. As specified in the Architecture curriculum by Tribhuwan University, students qualify to gain the practical knowledge by working as a trainee Architect in an architectural firm registered and run by professionals. Practicum in Architecture is vital session. Students not only get a semester long theoretical break but also an opportunity to imagine the Architectural field beyond their drafting table and presentation board. It is a supervised practical application of previously studied theory. During practicum, students gain immense insight regarding the real facets of architecture. This course helps to train students in various fields such as in technical, economical, practical and drawings, estimation and costing, in dealing with different professionals, engineers, clients. It basically prepares students and makes them familiar with the office environment and trends. During my practicum, I joined A-NOT ARCHITECTURE N ARCHITECTS at Patan Dhoka, as a trainee architect for over 90 days. This practicum report reflects my experience as trainee architect on various projects aiming to develop practical knowledge on the architectural fields.

OBJECTIVE OF PRACTICUM The objective of practicum is to acquaint us with various architectural and structural issues . The institute provides us acquaintance with the theoretical aspect of architecture. This doesn’t build the architect to cope with the practical circumstances. It is necessary for every architect to gain knowledge of professional life which is gained through practicum. The author is confident that the result presented in this report will be taken as guidance for a more comprehensive study at future date. The practicum session has been plannedwith following objectives: • Aids in enhancing our working skill. • Influences us to be involved in social activities • Widens our practical knowledge • Helps to visualize architecture in depth. • Enables us to handle different type of projects. • Helps us to learn howto maintain the standard of the firm. • Develops the feeling of duty and responsibility. • Enhances the skill of working in team. • Teaches professionalism. • To know general concept of working method of an architectural firm. • To gain an opportunity to be familiar with the professional field while utilizing the academic knowledge gained from three years learning at college. • To understand and tackle various obstacles when a design is really being implied.

SITE PANAROMA

SITE STUDY & ANALYSIS:

The proposed site is located in the Northern side of Sanothimi, Bhaktapur, which lies in institutional zone. It is trapezoidal in shape, has an area of 1894-1-1 Ropanis, and is presently occupied by warehouses and agricultural fields. Vehicular access is poor at the proposed site due to narrow and poor conditioned roads connecting the site. There is no basic infrastructure like water supply and drainage available at the site. Brick exposed and contemporary institutional buildings are located in the neighborhood of the proposed site. Because of its poor connectivity, connected places will further aid in development of the infrastructure in the area. By looking the plans, we could easily list out 3 major axes which later came in handy when we started our design.

PROPOSED ELEVATION (NORTH VIEW)

• Research • Conceptual planning and zoning • Auditorium hall plan and section • exhibition hall plan and section • Seminar hall, meeting hall planning and layout • banquet hall plan and section • Program formulation and zoning • Landscape design some parts • Compilation of plans and sections • Rendering This design competition is one of the most important project in my internship. Since A-not had already taken a number of projects before I joined the firm, there was little to no room for conceptual design phase. Keeping that in mind, our office supervisor, Mitra sir brought us the opportunity to take part in this design competition. This competition proved to be a very unique experience during the entire internship. I was able to learn the design process of the office and the interactions between professionals and how they were smoothly able to decide a conclusion irrespective of their different ideas.

I learned what T.O.R. (Terms of Reference) is and its importance in every competition or any project. Right after we had our hands on the T.O.R. we started out research works and made the program formulation, out of which 5000 capacity hall was the main concern of this competition. We intern brought up different ideas for laying out 5000 seats which ended up with 2 level balconies. Maintaining the visual lines from each seat rows we made a proper parabolic section of seating in the main hall. After solving the main problem, we started our preliminary zoning parallel with conceptual thinking individually. Being an international convention center, reflecting the Nepalese essence was my motto. So what better is there than courtyard that could create Nepalese essence. The courtyard portrayed was not just our usual 4 sided but with more stable triangular courtyard which was intended to bring more positive and stable conclusion in the international conference. With response to site, various discussions were done for program formulation with tentative calculation of area of different zones were finalized. The final zoning was done with its own schematic design development.

I V Y R / I PA RT DESIGNING AND PLANNING AUDITORIUM HALL LAYOUT: Firstly, in this competition the main gist was one and only the hall carrying capacity of 5000 people with the facilities. So with the design commencement we mainly targeted the hall with various figures research from social media, literature review and made a hall of two balconies with the standard eye level view which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obstruct to the people who would be the part of the meeting. So initial involvement made me to understand about the view angle, projection of balconies and many other. EXHIBITION HALL LAYOUT: This was my main task after the initial involvement in auditorium section. When planning the superstructure, I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about the orientation of the building, but how the building itself should guide the visitors to walk through journey where it finally passes the baton to the museum section below the raised plaza. It is disable friendly as well, because of the connection between two floors.

both the 1000 hall capacity be connected but still be barrier. So, I played with double heights and mezzanine to link them. I connect the VIP hall with visual connection as well. This made the hall livelier nonetheless a courtyard with waterfall raised the bar of liveliness. LANDSCAPING PORTION: Concept of pocket green spaces was discussed and the landscaping was carried out with that view. Provision of ramp was done constantly with ratio 1:12 for differently able people. The main circular landscape portion was depicted with response to mandala and ramp going downward was provided for people to sit and enjoy the view with different levels of plinth as a sitting arrangement. Open wide urban plaza for the entrance was designed in order that there would be huge crowd flow so proper management ought to be carried out. And similarly with provision of open surface parking and sitting arrangement respectively was carried out which gave the interactive entrance node giving sense of axis and direction.

Compilation of floor plans and sections: BANQUET HALL As different planning and layout was The banquet hall consisted of 3 halls- divided among us so I was involved in two 1000capacity hall and one 500 compilation of floor plans and sections capacity hall for VIP. So I wanted the which is attached in the annex, along with the rendering of different views.

VIEW FROM THE AXIS MASTER PLAN AFTER NEW SITE

P R AC T IC UM R E P O RT

I V Y R / I PA RT This is one of the interesting project where I was almost working solo with just the supervisor to guide me. I was asked to do zoning and planning of it. After I wrapped the project up by providing a rendered plan with all the programs including each and every area, the site that I was given was incorrect. So, I had to start it almost from the start, just leaving the research works. So, the concept was simple. The land was stretched, so linear planning was the most suited. I made an axis which was parallel to the riverside, through which the main spinal road passes through. This

spine road connected all the programs listed by the client. I first separated the programs according to zoning. I considered 3 zones – public, recreational and private. Near the bridge and big road, crowd movement is obviously heavy and noisy making the public zone more suitable. Then, to the opposite end, we had small road connection which is why I created private zone with another entry used especially for people living there and working in the cow farm and fishery. Now, comes recreational zone sandwiched between these two zones as, it should be common to both the publics and people living there.

INVOLVMENT • Elevation drawing • Window schedules • Basic details; toilet detail, false ceiling in plan • Staircase detail • Profile section of the building This is my second project of internship. The form and overall planning was almost done, but my main task was to make 2d elevations which was a to and fro process where the head architect changes the 3d and 2d changes vice-versa. After finalizing the design, I made the detailed window schedule with materials and no. of units. Then false ceiling mainly for RCC block was to be done. This is where I learned easy and effective way of designing false ceiling. Gypsum board being easy to handle, we made a min. of 6” gap from the walls or the pillars which reduced the cost drastically as no panels except the gypsum board was needed to be cut. Later I made toilet details of the main press building area.

Similary in the personalization center, too I was given a task to make layout the toilet and make detailed drawing of it. So, involvement in this project, enhanced the knowledge of working drawing. I was able to build confidence in detail drawings, how the gaps during installation of false ceiling is done, the management of the standard size of the ceiling panels and placements, and to minimizes the wastage of material. Similarly, in toilet, tiling is done from one way so in order to minimize the wastage of tile.

ACHIEVEMENTS

A great opportunity to be a part of this project. USAID had chosen ANOT to build health post, hospitals and schools in Sindhuli. This is my first project of internship, where I learned some minor details. The first task to me was listing out the signage and making a table of those all including all different sizes of the signage boards. I made a detail section of signage board in exterior as well. I was asked to make typical detail drawing of retaining wall with different height difference of the contour level. So after research and consulting our structure engineer, I found simple method of drawing the retaining wall which just included a formula with only one variable i.e. the height of retaining wall. H varies with the variation of contour line and also the variation of designed level.

• Improvement in 3d rendering • Better idea of walkthrough • Detail 3d drawing • Basic idea of retaining wall • Improvement in 2d drawings • Knowledge of signage boards

I made overall amendments of LTSS according to the correction list then did gate details, isometric plans and lab interior. I played a crucial role in animation or walkthrough of all 7 projects and compiled with music.

JACKETING AND BEAM REINFORCEMENT (RETROFITTING)

ABOUT RETROFITING RETROFITTING Retrofitting is technical interventions in structural system of a building that improve the resistance to earthquake by optimizing the strength, ductility and earthquake loads. This process is adopted when construction of new building is not cost efficient. Most of the public school buildings in Nepal

ANCHORS, TIES AND CONTINUITY A fundamental detail for all retrofit procedures is the connection of walls, floors, and roofs with anchors. This process serves to stiffen the individual structural elements, and encourage composite behavior of the structure.

many ideas related with retrofitting is gained. In it, I was able to gain knowledge about the process of retrofit which is applied in both sub structure and superstructure. How they are applied below the wall in foundation with the use of MS pipes and how they are strengthening column. If the existing column is weak how they are retrofitted and treated with the existing beam. Moreover, the column is added in existing column and strengthened with the beam which was clear in visualization

REINFORCED JACKETING This is one of the most used methods. In this method on both face or in outer face of the wall is jacketed with the reinforcement mesh. The reinforcement mesh was of tor-steel mesh according to design calculations. In case of steel mesh, we use micro concreting.

MY INVOLVEMENT: • Interior floor planning layout • Interaction with client • 3d design • Rendering • vSite observation and measurement This was also one of the interesting project. I was involved in the site measurement and to redraw the measured drawing on cad. Interaction with the client and knowing his requirement was also an interesting experience. I was involved to plan interior of few rooms. And got to know more about the concept of retrofitting and visualize it in the existing site. How to design the existing site with client’s point of view? And was involved in new planning of the existing site with family unit (1 bedroom, pantry living with attached toilet) also considered 2 bedrooms in single unit. Since we already had the outlines for the building, I left the planning part and went exterior aesthetics. Tons of research works were done, as the client wanted Tibetan essence. but later on, client was okay with going modernistic approach. Thought the exterior was of modern style, we created suite room’s interior with Tibetan essence. So, I started experimenting with façade

treatment and parallel to the change in plan by the senior architect. We kept attached toilets to the exterior wall, in order decrease energy load of using exhaust fans and chimney, which helped us to remove the chimney in the roof and get wide open top terrace. The protruded toilet walls help me to generate a design element, a boxy shape which is what A-not is known for. These were used as motif ’s. I introduced a vertical datum which consisted the servant spaces i.e stairs. It was massy because it was junction between two blocks, and junctions acting as a binder it needed mass to be balanced as whole. So, to create massy block, I used concrete which was colorized to blackish blue tone. Similarly, what creates a homely or livable essence? the answer to this is was balconies. It not only creates homely environment but acted as void compared to mass of the motif ’s used. The backside of the building needed more private space and open at a same time. So, utitilizing the atrium, I created an outdoor colonnaded space, which could be used as a coffee corner or dj spot especial occasion. The colonnaded space continues towards the parking space where, the colonnades with foliage created buffer from the parking. Here, the secluded colonnade is used for small swimming pool.

MY INVOLVEMENT

• 3D MODELING • CONCEPTUAL PHASE • STRUCTURE DRAWING

Parallel to the project NSP, I was given a residence design, where I had to make 3d exterior model from already planned 3-storey house. The client was reluctant about using slope roof i.e. Namaste, moreover the traditional nepali style slope. I personally didn’t like the designed plan but just assuming the front façade I started making models. Because of the two unparalleled grids, the structure of the slope roof was to hamper and which is why most of the designs I came up with, had loop holes. But nonetheless, I provided my 3d models.

but I provided an alternative thoughts and concepts in the brainstorming phase. The brainstorming phase was helpful, because I got to know so much about what an architect needs to think in while designing a residence. This time around client had new program i.e. ground floor as a rentable space with his own meeting room/ living room. While senior architects were thinking of providing main door to the clients from the front, I was thinking just opposite. The concept behind this was simple and in way logical. By going to backdoors, provided a buffered private space and garden where different private activities could have been done. The meeting room would have been quitter with visual connection to garden creating a cozy atmosphere. After the designing phase finished, I took the structural part as to complete my internship goals.

After a long gap, meeting with the client concluded to, disliking the plan. So the conceptual phase, started once again. This time around, me being busy in other projects, I couldn’t do get involved deeply PROTOTYPE 2

(As per site condition)

In this project, I was given task to make 2d drawings especially elevations from a 3d model. After the completion of the task I had to correct some faults in plan. This is 9" the first project, I made municipal drawing format outside the campus course. the municipal drawing wasn’t that much of a drastic change compare to what we did in campus curriculum but just some minor changes. After making all the components, such as, location map, door Beam and window schedule and all, the 9"things written in template is what I learned 1'-0" from here. I got to know about plot areas, sheet no., as well as we need to keep both areas from lalpurja 8mmØ @ 4"c/c 8mmØ @ 4"c/c as well as the measured area. Beam bars

Here, my role was to do some basic design and render of interiors. I visited the site to see the work in progress as well as the finishing of the work. With that being said, there was a problem in false ceiling. The building itself was modern from outside and the false ceiling goes well with it, but the workers with leisure time had kept traditional type of cornices and mounds on the edges, making it unsuitable and unworthy of overall project. So, decision was made to take those cornices off.

MY INVOLVEMENT • 2D PLAN DRAWING This project is one of the conservational type of project, as it is located in a Bahal of Prayag Pokhari. The existing building was getting demolished when we had the project and the client just wanted to see how, total of 6 bedrooms could be placed. The site was at the corner of the Bahal with just barely looking to the courtyard facing east. The south portion was attached to Dyochen and west, leaving the setback was attached to another house. So, direct sunlight was very hard to let in. the next problem was, with the clear head room. The elevational flow was needed to be maintain otherwise it would have been alien to the site or site irresponsive. So, elevation was not in our requirement.

OBSERVATIONS

• Pile foundation with beam around the site • Raft foundation with beam • Secu-grid and Combi-grid The site was huge on where the construction work was on going. Through my visit I saw the piles which were running along the site. After consulting with the site engineer, it was done to strengthen the loose soil on site, preventing the soil from flowing down due to its weak nature. These were called micro pile.

SECU GRID AND COMBI GRID AT THE BOTTOM OF FOUNDATION FOR UNIFORM TRANSFER OF LOAD

PILE FOUNDATION WITH BEAM RUNNING AROUND SITE

Next, I got visualize raft foundation which I typically had known only in course book. The raft was huge and the beam was running along the raft so I asked them and they told that the width of raft was tentatively large affecting the cost drastically. So to counteract it, beams were introduced as it functions same as the raft designed. Also in site we saw different sizes of bar which were turned and folded in a machine. The stirrups were being made constantly and the beam laying over the formwork was on going so this was quite helpful for me to visualize general things that we knew only in our theoretical point of view.

RAFT FOUNDATION WITH BEAM TO MINIMIZE THE DEPTH OF RAFT

I was able to learn new things, such as SECU GRID and COMBI GRID at the bottom of foundation for uniform transfer of load. The grid is covered with gravel and PCC is laid over it. The secu-grid is use as the uniform load distributor whereas combi-grid is used as the uniform load distributor with geotextile ability.

ACHIEVEMENTS

- Information about SECU GRID and COMBI GRID. - Knowledge about pile foundation and raft foundation. - Removing water from the site using pumps. - Inspection can be done in the site office nearby. - Working procedure can be properly guided under supervision. - Proper concern about oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety was constantly observed.

INVOLVEMENT • Site visit and measurement • 3d modeling • Rendering • Report writing We went to the UN office at Sanepa where the level of security was actually stricter than domestic airports of Nepal. We went to the roof top which needed to be redesigned. After hearing what the client had to say. We started measuring the roof top. The use of smart phone with stylus came in handy to note the dimension onto the photo itself. This helped in preventing any confusion. But we also made a floor plan on sketchpad. After the site visit. I was asked to create the existing space in 3D. I learned that sometimes we need to draw a more detailed textures of an object and not just hatch it, in order to bring out its characteristics Later I helped the senior architects out in 3d’s and rendering. Then made a page of report to convey the client what we were trying to do.

CONCEPT Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world where half of the population live below poverty line. Adding more to the woes, the country is marred heavily by the ills of AIDS and other maladies like Malaria. Natural resources like forest is greatly threatened due to the lack of awareness and education. In many countries including Malawi, education is largely based on learning things by heart. But in few countries, schools have begun to offer multidisciplinary learning concepts. The revolutionary system tends to activate and engage the students for learning through experience, experiments and exploration; they are reaping greater results. The participatory learning is based on 4 Cs of educational system: • Communication • Critical Thinking • Creativity • Collaboration We have proposed our idea in which the school is designed as a stage or a platform that facilitates learning through various forms of arts, experimentation, experiences and communication. The integral pathway that links all the activities and spaces of the project forms a closed loop which we have called ‘Circle of Knowledge(COK)’. COK is an experience that helps to acquire knowledge that is both theoretical and pragmatic by incorporating the 4 Cs of education as mentioned previously. We have also put an effort to engage the local resources (art, culture, materials) to provide a modern solution i.e. Knowledge and skills needed to face daily life challenges and take advantage of economic and

life- long learning opportunities. The knowledge will also help reduce poverty, foster economic growth, and help achieve gender equality, and social development. The COK binds together following areas: • 1. The Entry Plaza • 2. The Savannah Woodland • 3. The Library, computer room and the Laboratory • The screen provided on the façade is to screen the sunlight and to break the direct view from inside to minimize distractions. • 4. The Cafeteria • 5. Informal Playground • 6. Students Dormitories • 7. Classrooms

• 8. Open Air Workshop • The space is a multi-functional space for practical hands-on experiences and exhibitions. • 9. The Amphitheatre • This area is a multifunctional hub that can accommodate and encourage wide range of functions like dramas, musical and dance programs, storytelling etc. • 10. Animal Husbandry and the Green House • This area also provide knowledge of waste recycling, composting and green energy. • 11. The Teachers’ Residence • 12. The Hall 64

When I joined AFA, the research works had just started and hence I got an opportunity to work in this wonderful competition, nearly from the scratch. We all started intensive research on the history, behavior, climate and in every nook and corner to get in a right track and emergence of a good concept. The concepts and designs were popping leaving just one x-factor.

INTERIOR OF LIBRARY FACING SAVANNA WOODLAND

I presented my design, which was based on book of axis. I used the notch on the road of primary school as my entry point because of its flexibility in maneuvering the vehicles about it. Hence, the books spine is just opposite to the notch which is what I called the point of axis. The pages of the book were axis which followed a direction leading to certain programsINTERIOR OF LIBRARY FACING SAVANNA WOODLAND

AFA TALLKS

INTRODUCTION AFA Talks is a weekly talk program of office, where the staff member or intern researches and presents a topic related to architecture.

GOALS

• development of presentation skills • graphics improvement • enhances architectural knowledge

MY INVOLVEMENT A week after I joined AFA, I was given an opportunity to presenet in AFA talks. Rather than presenting about reknown architect, I chose something different. I presented anime-architecture, relation between anime and architecture and how anime can be a source of ones inspiration towards architecture. ANIME It is the Japanese term for animation. The earliest commercial japanese animation dates to 1917. Anime consists of an ideal story-telling mechanism, combining graphic art, characterization, cinematography, and other forms of imaginative and individualistic techniques

two different location in almost same time as most of the viewers will know in instance. Similarly, there are anime where reality and creativity exceeds limit. FINDINGS • We could know more about architecture, culture and tradtition. It increases imagination and also helps in cinematography. • We could learn illustrative skills from anime and manga (example: Yes Is More, BIG). • If we pay close attention to the background, we can find the materials being used and how essence of architecture could be achieved from the materials used.

CONCLUSION • We could use manga(comic) style as an interpretation style • we should create our own version of anime where our architecture paralleled with our culture and tradtion is shown and further promote to the whole world about it. • Architecture plays an integral and active part in shaping the story in anime and movies

Some anime portrays immense reality viz. the location is real. For example, landmarks such as, tokyo tower or big ben. It displays two actions at 67

DESIGN COMPETITION

This internship period has been very beneficial. Several different tasks have been gone through, have been completed, and have been understood and will be taken into use in the future work situations. The experience together with the knowledge gathered, has made me more knowledgeable and more ready to go into the workforce after the graduation. I have learned a lot about project development, interaction between coworkers, new things about everyday software and proper work management. Beside the learning process, I got many more valuable experiences from the people around me. I was inspired by the people around me, not only as someone to learn from but as a person and their ideology, philosophy and way of life. what they see as an architect and their outlook towards even the simplest things in life.
