Practicum 2074
PREFACE
PRACTICUM, as prescribed in the syllabus for the fourth year first semester of
Bachelor in Architecture degree program under Tribhuvan University, is a specified
subject to be conducted by Department of Architecture. This report is based on the
works performed by me, Dharmisara Subedi, as a trainee architect at “Shah Consult
International.” The firm has provided me with ample opportunities to acquaint
myself in the professional field of Architecture.
During this period (October 29, 2017-March 25, 2018) of practicum, I was involved in
various design projects, concept development, municipal drawings, structural
drawings, presentation drawings and 3Ds.
Thus, the internship period has an important role in shorting out of the trainee’s
performance in profession level.
The report contains all the works that I attended during my stay in the firm.
Thanking you,
Dharmisara Subedi

Practicum 2074
INTRODUCTION
Architecture is a utilitarian art. The architecture students also require gaining some
practical experience by working as a trainee in an architectural firm. This practicum
period helps students to understand the professional life of an architect. Practical
knowledge is as important as theoretical knowledge. The theoretical knowledge helps in
the development of the basic knowledge whereas practical helps to implement that
theoretical knowledge into practical life for the race of the real world. Architecture
students can pursue a participatory learning experience in their field of study
by enrolling in Practicum. A practicum provides us with an opportunity to
explore aspects of professional practice within design firms or other entities
engaged in activities that shape the built environment. Practicum is an
educational program for students who have never worked in a professional
office and for students who want to broaden their knowledge of professional
practice or conduct in-depth study in the context of a professional setting.
This practicum course in B.Arch. IV/I curriculum is intended to endow the

students of architecture with a base for using their theoretical knowledge
they have gained during class hours which helps them to work more
efficiently with self confidence in future, with their own ability when they put
their step in the actual professional architectural world. During design
projects in class, we just put our imaginative ideas into the design
consideration regardless of any constructional restrains, economic
consideration and many other things. But in practical, they might be
infeasible. In class projects, we ourselves being virtual clients, we design
accordingly as our wish. But, when we design for a real project, as the design
is for the client, his decision proves to be the most, which we have to trail up.
So, sometimes we have to compromise on our ideas. This practicum teaches
us how to interact with the client and how to convince him if his stipulation is
feasible and appropriate. Designing just in a paper is easy, but during the
process of concretizing it, many problems might be raised which we aren’t
conscious of until it is confronted in the real practice. Hence, practicum
proves to be beneficial in the exposure of those factual problems and helps
us to experience the design by ourselves.
The main objectives of practicum are:

 To get general idea about the official and financial management
 To gain professional experiences
 To get enrolled in official procedures in different kind of situations
while handling the projects
 To build up self confidence to stand through the architectural
profession
 To make the theoretical base stronger by implementing them in
practical
 To learn problems in architecture and construction
Practicum 2074
Hence, we can conclude, practicum to be a medium to reinforce us with the

practical knowledge of the architectural field, which helps us to prepare
ourselves both morally and spiritually to handle any challenges, likely to
encounter during our professional career.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this report are the following:
 To serve for the fulfillment of the 4th year 1st part practicum.

Figure 1: Orthopeadic clinic second floor

Practicum 2074
INVOLVEMENT OVERVIEW
In this project I was asked to draw 3D of its second floor and try to do interior of its
residential part. It was my first sketch up project from which I am able to learn basic
command of sketch up like how to move, copy, rotate, and scale. In this project I tried to do
interior of it. Since the time period is short (2days) due to next project I am unable to
finishing its all interior. First it is difficult to draw in sketch up because I am not that perfect
at sketch up but with the help of Ar. Anju Shrestha I am able to draw wall, door window.

Practicum 2074
OUTPUT
 The first thing I learned from this project is how to use sketch up
 Learned basic command of sketch up
 Learned how to make group, component and about push pull.
 Learned to use material bucket.
 Knew about the 3dwarehouse site.
CONCLUSION
The use of sketch up is very much important in architect’s life from which we can visualize
our project in 3D which we draw in CAD and it makes easy to deal with client so this project
helps me to gain knowledge about how to make 3d in sketch up though I didn’t learn properly
(finely) due to short period of time and due to this is my first sketch up project. But it helps
me a lot in using sketch up in first phase like how to change styles , how to change model
entity, about import and export, how to create scene. So this helps me in my further works of
practicum.

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS:
 Load bearing structure
 Steel staircase
 Sill and lintel bands
 Cross ventilation
DESIGN CONSTRAINS:
 Due to small plinth area and various requirements of client there arises the
difficulty on managing space.
 Minimum plinth area (17’x18’) and clients requirement is main design constrains.
After the many more attempt to fulfill the client’s design requirement I am unable to manage
space so at last client modified the plinth area and I put staircase and toilet block at outer part
of the building.

BY LAWS
SITE AREA: 330.6Sq.m

PLINTH AREA: 47.25Sq.m
GCR: 14.29%
TOTAL BUILT UP AREA: 94.5Sq.m
SETBACK: 1500mm
PROPOSED DESIGN DESCRIPTION:
It is the proposed design which is located in saptari, Nepal. Due to the size of brick
in terai area I have to put the thickness of wall 10”. There is 1500mm wide passage in
front of main entrance of building. As per the client requirement there are four no of
columns of size 300mmX300mm which helps to support the load of upper part of the
building. These columns are made up off brick. This is the load bearing structure so
we are not allowed to put openings anywhere. So I put openings at least 600mm
away from the ends of wall. The plinth height of the building is 450mm and floor
height of building is 2750mm.
Staircase is located at the outer part of the building. The material used to construct
staircase is steel. This is the open well staircase. The tread width of staircase is
900mm and riser height is 150mm.
There is the provision of opening as per the concept of cross ventilation because the
site is located in the terai area of Nepal and we know terai’s climate is hot climate.

 Image render
DESIGN REQUIREMENT:
 25mm thick marble wall finishing
 No need of tap in bath tub
 Commode and basin should be located in 450mm c/c from wall.
DESIGN CONSTRAINS:
 Two no. of doors and one window, due to these doors there is difficulty in do interior
layout.
 Due to minimum space difficulty arises on design of basin and basin counter.
This design constrain is resolved by placing triangular basin counter in spite of rectangular
basin counter.

OUTPUT
From this project I learned to render image from sketch up by using v-ray plug-in. It helps me
to elaborate by knowledge about interior of toilet. The main thing I learn from this drawing is
about the wet space and dry space coordination in designing of toilet.
CONCLUSION:
Thus, this project brought me back to the basics, understanding of detailed interior drawing
of toilet and also gave confident to render image in sketch up .Interesting part in this design is
a triangular basin counter which is made due to lack of space.

Practicum 2074
CONCLUSIONS:
Only theoretical knowledge is not enough for an architecture student. Not only drafting and
designing; what we did in past three years; but also facing and observing site surroundings
and problems encountered during construction. Thus, practicum has given us that chance, to
learn what we don’t get to learn at architecture school. We get to be a part of professional
organizations, work as professionals. It is, thus, a big step towards our professional careers as
architects.
During our design projects in class, our main intention becomes how to
provide maximum space for the convenience of its users and we are not
concerned about the cost that will be consequently raised due to increase
in floor area. But in practice, it’s not economical as every inch counts and
we are supposed to design within the cost limitations. So, we should try
our best to provide the space just enough to serve the function for what it
is intended for.
From site visit, I came to know much more about the real construction works
held in site, how workers are involved and how the design we prepare in
paper comes to be realized in ground of reality. In class designs we are
not concerned about the structural parts of the building; we just try to
create an appealing and aesthetical building, no matter it is really possible
to concretize or not. Our prime considerations become the architectural
expression. From practicum, I came to perceive that along with the
Architectural aesthetic, structural consideration is equally important
otherwise, the design will be confined to the paper only, not in real practice.
This practicum has helped me in realizing the professional architectural

ground and exploring myself, like, how much I can utilize my knowledge
that I gained during the class hours in real when I am assigned to any
task. It has amplified my confidence, which will be really helpful in my
future professional career.
Hence, it could be concluded that his semester is an important part of our

study and knowledge gain during this period will act as a base to our career
in coming future.
