    CENTRE FOR CULINARY ARTS: WHERE FOOD MEETS ARCITECTURE
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-04) BAUDDHACHARYA, SHREEYA
    Food remains an important placemaking quality in the city. Since the presence of food in public spaces provides a draw that supports other city functions and boosts the social life of public spaces. Thus, food is a great placemaker that draws people too plazas and streetscapes, and people draw more people , and so on, until a space that might normally be quiet and underutilized is suddenly full of life. Food and architecture are complementary creative fields due to the abundance of art in both. These similar projections are excited to investigate a newer perspective, one that could add value to our cities and engage a diverse range of citizens. It's captivating to see how food and architecture have always brought people together and encouraged social interactions and activities. Both branches of study, given their similar natures and characteristics of different parameters, encouraged me to explore new perspectives, engage the public, and provide a sense of place. The Culinary Arts Centre functions as a driving force for the revitalization of the surrounding neighborhoods, exemplifying one of the intricate urban relationships between architecture and food. It is envisioned as a hybrid of formal and informal spaces.

    Geothermal Spring Center
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2079) Sunuwar, Aanchal
    Architecture is all about creative spaces and functions with optimum use of resources around the site without exploiting the source. In today’s world of “Energy Crisis” where nonrenewable source of energy is running out and will not be replenished for millions of years, the eco-friendly architecture utilizing renewable source of energy is the ideal way that we all should strive for. Geothermal energy is one of the renewable sources of energy that is the heat within the earth and geothermal spring is a natural hot spring that is heated by the geothermal gradient beneath the earth that ultimately rises to the surface through fissures and fractures of the rocks. Humans have always used geothermal spring as long as we can trace back the history because of its health benefits (thermalism, balneology and hydrotherapy) which has been proved by present day medical science. As the time has changed, people not only use hot water for health purpose but also for relaxation and as a means of creating bonding experience with other people. This has boosted local as well as international tourism in the place with natural hot water spring. Hence, soaking in hot water has become a public activity and the place where there are human activities; it demands architectural functions as per the activities. This report revolves around studying and designing various functions,

    MITHILA ARTS AND CULTURE CENTER
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-04) SHAH, MEGHA
    Ethnicity of the people is determined by the culture of the region. Nepal is a small country with a diverse geography, society and culture. Maithili is an ethnic minority with rich culture, arts, language and architecture style. Architecture is the relationship between settlement pattern, house shape, size and orientation, material and technology which responds to the climatic, geographical, cultural and social norms of society. The Mithila Art and Culture Center is proposed for Janakpur to conserve and advance art, culture, and tradition. It focuses on the Mithila of Dhanushadham, which is rapidly vanishing due to the spread of contemporary concepts and amenities. The project will offer performances, craft demonstrations, product sales, exhibition halls, galleries, libraries, auditoriums, outdoor theaters, areas for product presentation and sales, cafeterias, lodging buildings, museums, and art studios. The primary goal is to develop a variety of collections, such as intriguing places, to satisfy its diverse requirements and establish it as the district's first center.
