REVIEWS 1 st runner up ALL NEPAL ASIAN PAINTS DESIGN COMPETITION 2017 MS. SHRINKHALA KHATIWADA The design of this building is highly inspired by the works of Louis. I Kahn, Marina Tabassum, Tadao Ando and Charles Correa in terms of contextual design, play with light and shadow and transformation of simple geometric forms into extraordinary spaces. COMMERCIAL ZONE POLICE/MILITARY ZONE The building is designed along the movement of the user, creating beautiful spaces around the visual axis. The play with light and shadow is repeated throughout the building with the use of slits, pergolas, punctures and lattice pattern covers. The building moves with the shadow and no single point looks the same when observed at different points in time. It creates a sort of dynamism to the otherwise geometric shapes CONTEXT The main site is located within the core commercial hub of the Kathmandu city, as a sports and recreational zone. The site is surrended by the commercial zone on its south and north frontage, whereas its proximity to the Army areas on its north and east frontage creates its limitation to build a structure. THE SITE ACCESS ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXT The main site is located within the DASARATH STADIUM, an international sports arena of Nepal. The project is to redesign the Multisports Covered Hall, that is on the eastern part of the main stadium. Since the site is located within the core commercial hub of the capital, it is easily accessible from different city cores. The surroundings of the site is highly affected by the buildings that showcases the characteristics of modern architectural approach.

REVIEWS were announced. The winner of Kaleidoscope “Heroes of Future” 2016-17 was Mr. Shrawan Thakuri from Kathmandu Engineering College. Mr. Thakuri was awarded with Rs. 70,000 cash prize. His design was inspired from one of the philosophies of Tadao Ando, a celebrated self-taught Japanese architect, who believed that architecture should be influenced by the context of the site and that both should exist as a single entity together in harmony. “Besides fulfilling all the given requirements of the project, I was more concerned in developing the project as a part of the whole Dasarath Rangashala Sports Complex. I wanted it to fit into the site like it was meant to be rather than developing it as segregated individual entities”, he explained. Ms. Shrinkhala Khatiwada of Institute of Engineering Pulchowk Campus was the first runner up and she won a cash prize of Rs. 40,000.“I’m a strong believer that architecture should represent its place, especially when it is a National level project”, she said. Hence, it was only natural that her design incorporated the identity of the architecture of Kathmandu valley. “I tried to narrow it down to materiality, feeling of a space through light and shadow and use of local architectural elements like dhungedhaaras and wooden jali work, to create an overall character of experiencing the spaces”, she added. The second runner up was Mr. Govinda Prasad Mainali from Institute of Engineering Pulchowk Campus winning a cash prize of Rs 30,000. His design was inspired by the natural postures of a bird, to be more precise. “The urges of the functionality of the design was fulfilled by the inspirational concept from the natural postures of the birds. The idea lies in the posture of the bird at its stationary position. The skeleton of the bird that allows its body to counter act the external stimulus was taken as the core idea to develop the structural grid of the building. To make the body stable, birds inclines its limbs towards shorter rear bone sides so that it counter balances the longer fore side of the body. This feature has been developed to create the structure of the building as well as technique that lets the northern diffused light inside the indoor hall. This gives us the powerful technique to achieve the spatial need of the building; structural need as well as add the value to the functionality”, he explained. Mr. Pradeep Maharjan of Kathmandu Engineering College and Mr. Rustam Lama of Nepal Engineering College took home consolation prizes worth Rs. 10,000 each. The award ceremony also included recognition to the students of B.E. 2068 Batch as Thesis Winners, Mr. Sanjeev Shrestha, Mr. Achyut Paudel, Mr. Jenish Maharjan, 2 nd runner up MR. GOVINDA PRASAD MAINALI Inspiration derived from the form of the natural entity: nature, the sole muse from the form of the natural posture of the avian counterparts. The functionality urges fulfilled by stationary position of the birds; the skeleton that allows to countermeasure the external stimuli was the core idea for the structural concept for the building form. The design successfully incorporates the powerful technique to fulfil the spatial need of the building along with the structural, adding core value to the functionality of the design approach.
