Material used and construction technology
The design seems to draw towards organic architecture as it attempts to co-exist with the site. this building at a first sight gives us reflection of a traditional Nepali brick exposed buildings with modern forms. Modern forms in such a way that the design epitomizes the site, with floors arranged at different level and connected by a central staircase with angled roof another wit the dome shape and circular elevation.
Most remarkably he has used Newari Architectural beliefs and scale in his design which shows a degree of sensititvity to the local building culture. Rather than superimposing forms with different symbolic and cultural value as and element.there is an attempt to interpret the intangible aspects in the design.
Following materials are mainly used for the construction of the building
Brick, timber, steel, concrete cement, glasses.
