Art & Architecture

Technical Interface

This architecture firm is one of the oldest in Nepal and has designed some of the most outstanding buildings in Kathmandu. Its chief architecture Bibhuti Man Singh has been the recipient of awards in the World Expo for designing the best pavilion. Presently in the Shanghai expo 2010, the Nepal Pavilion designed by Bibhuti Man Singh has been nominated as the top 10 most visited pavilions

The interns get to visit the building sites that Technical Interface is currently working on and understand the basics of Nepali architecture, its history and the design styles.

The Prudent foundation, after discussing my interest in environmental architecture with me, managed to secure an internship with a world-renowned architecture firm, with its head office right in Kathmandu. After an introduction facilitated by Udgam and Shaguni I was warmly welcomed by the firm’s head architect and was given tours of several past and present construction projects that they designed, in addition to ample interview and discussion time in their offices. It was a truly wonderful experience, and has given me a new level of understanding both on the field of architecture as a whole, and of the unique challenges that architects face working in Nepal, which is exactly what my goals were for my time here.
