SPACES Sept issue 2017

REVIEWS
Ms. Ashmita Sigdel and Mr. Satish
Manandhar & Dibash Adhikari (tied
up), with cash prize of Rs. 50,000.00
to each from Institute of Engineering
Pulchowk Campus, Nepal Engineering
College, ACME Engineering College,
Himalaya Engineering College and
Kathmandu Engineering College
respectively.
The competition has been not only
provided a platform for the students
to showcase their abilities, it has also
proven to be a learning opportunity.
Shrawan mentioned that it is the kind
of competitions that teaches you the
architecture demands and teamwork,
whereas Shrinkhala learnt to be efficient
with her time as she did the project
alongside her final year thesis. For
Govinda, this competition was not with
others, rather it was with himself. For
both Shrinkhala and Govinda, juggling
their thesis and the competition was
proved to be rather challenging.
The winners all had many memorable
times during the competition. Shrawan
fondly remembered his visit to Asian
Paints Nepal factory in Hetauda and
as well going for safari in Chitwan. For
Shrinkala, the most striking memory was
of the harsh comments she received
from the juror, which only motivated her
to work harder. Govinda remembered
the disappointment of being denied
more time to work on his thesis so that
he could focus on the competition for
the time being. The top three designs
and their respective designers will be
in consultation with the sports council
for revisions and implementation of the
design they created for the covered hall
at Dasarath Stadium. •
