ABSTRACT
Architecture remains incomplete until the design is transformed from paper to reality. The internship course
in the B.Arch. V/I curriculum is designed to give architecture students an overview of the field's
professional knowledge.
Internship, a practical section of a course of study. Students can get the necessary practical experience by
working as a trainee architect in a registered and expertly supervised architectural firm. Internship in
Architecture is a vital course. Students not only have a theoretical break for the duration of the semester,
but they also have the chance to think about the architectural field beyond their drafting table and
presentation board.
During, my internship, I joined Design Scape, as a trainee architect for 80 days. This internship report
details my experiences working on numerous projects as a trainee architect with the goal of gaining practical
expertise in the architectural professions.

THAMEL HUB
PROJECT DETAILS
➢ Location: Thamel, Kathmandu
➢ Client: Mr. Manish Shrestha
➢ Type: Mixed use building
➢ Status: Design finalized
➢ Skills Learned: Sanitary and
electrical techniques
MY INVOLVEMET
➢ Sanitary drawing
➢ Electrical drawing
➢ Draft plan
The project type is commercial mixed-use building and I was tasked to complete the electrical and sanitary
drawings of the hub. Also, I was involved in editing plan as per the changes done. With the guidance of the
senior architect, I prepared sanitary and electrical drawings of whole building.
Points to be considered in Sanitary drawing
Sanitary drawing includes:
➢ Should avoid having the waste pipe and the soil intersect or overlap.
➢ It is preferable to tilt pipes at an acute angle and slope it on one side rather than connecting them
perpendicularly.
➢ Floor traps for shower and basin must be provided separately to avoid overflow
Manhole
Required when there is change of direction or where access Manhole
Soak pit
Soak pit helps in letting the waste water coming from the
septic tank to slowly soak into the underlying ground.
12
INTERNSHIP REPORT/2022/PRAJINA TAKSARI
Septic Tank
Septic tank is used underground sewage system.
13
INTERNSHIP REPORT/2022/PRAJINA TAKSARI
WHAT I LEARNED?
➢ Sanitary drawings: Proper sanitary details to be incorporated for soil pipe, waste pipe, manholes,
soak pits and septic tanks
➢ Sanitary pipes
▪ In floor levels
➢ Soil pipe: 4”
➢ Waste pipe: 3”
➢ Soak pit diameter must be greater than 18”
➢ Water distribution pipes in upper floor is thicker than that in lower floors because water flows faster
in lower floors due to gravity
➢ No of pipes required- hot water pipe, cold water pipe, water supply from underground tank to
overhead tank, rain water collection from different floors, soil pipe and waste pipe.
➢ Electrical drawings: Proper way of allocate electrical fixtures, power sockets points.

MY INVOLVEMENT
➢ Photoshop render
➢ 2d drawings
In this project, I got chance to be exposed into the rendering filed in Photoshop. The project was being
passed on us to complete the photoshop of masterplan of the project. This is to let the clients have a deeper
image of how will we want the masterplan of resort to look like.
When we complete the Photoshop stage, I was then given task to edit the plan and draft the section of the
main building of the project as per the changes. After I have completed the plans and section, I continue to
work on the remaining detail work in masterplan of the project.

THE CONCEPT
Concept originated from De Stijl, which means Style in Dutch, was a
magazine in which the artists promoted their ideas on art and
abstraction. De Stijl artwork stands out through its use of primary
colors, horizontal and vertical lines, squares, and rectangles within the
genre of modernism.
1. Straight lines: De Stijl art features clean and straight vertical and horizontal lines that
intersect to form right angles.
2. Primary colors: Used primary colors-red, yellow, and blue-plus black and white.
These colors do not touch or blend, and straight lines typically divide the colors.
3. Thick strokes: Artworks are typically black lines in thick strokes to accentuate the
division between colors and boxes.
4. Geometric forms: Rectangle and square boxes are standard fixtures of the De Stijl
movement

THE WORKING PROCESS
WHAT I LEARNED?
➢ Supervision skills
➢ Knowledge on design changed that arise during the construction because of various reasons
21
INTERNSHIP REPORT/2022/PRAJINA TAKSARI
MY INVOLVEMENT
➢ 3D Designing
The project is residence cum commercial building in which I was responsible to design the façade of the
building. The ground, first and second is for commercial unit and the remaining two floors is used for
residence purpose. So, the client’s requirement is that the building should look commercial as well as the
residence. It was the challenging part of the design. Another challenge that I felt during the design process
is that there are two buildings which are attached with our site in both sides. So, there are more restrictions
because of these challenges.
DESIGN PROCESS
After study about the site and client’s requirement. Firstly, I go with the research part of the design. For
research I followed different websites such as dezeen, archdaily, pinterest, etc. After going through the
similar project, then I started the number of conceptual sketches and started to do 3D in SketchUp.
22
INTERNSHIP REPORT/2022/PRAJINA TAKSARI
CONCEPT
The concept is to design a residence cum commercial building with
minimalistic design. And as per client’s requirement play with the different
type of stones in façade, grey, black and white color.

INTERNSHIP REPORT/2022/PRAJINA TAKSARI
MY INVOLVEMENT
➢ Municipal Drawings
➢ Editing 3D
Before my involvement in this project, the design had already been finalized. So, I only worked in this
project’s municipal drawings, and edited the 3D of the building as per the changes occur during drafting
the municipal drawings.
Points to be considered in Site Plan
➢ First, compare site area with lalpurja (drawing site area should be less if not Land of Way should
be mentioned)
➢ ROW
➢ Setback
➢ Road Width
➢ Trees
➢ Triangulation with dimension
➢ Building structural parts should be within setback.
➢ Building edges to site perpendicular dimensions

After having final plan and 3d modeling. Details drawings was done which includes section, elevation,
plans, location map, opening schedule for final municipal sheet.
26
INTERNSHIP REPORT/2022/PRAJINA TAKSARI
WHAT I LEARNED?
➢ I learned that the scale for municipal drawings must be 1"=8' for measurements below 8 anna and
1"=16' for measurements above anna.
➢ A location map (not to scale), site plan, floor plans, elevations, a section through the staircase, and
an opening timeline should be provided.
➢ If the municipal designs cannot be managed on a single sheet, they are set up on two sheets.
➢ The first sheet should be organized with the sheets that provide more detailed information, such as
the site plan, ground floor plan, location map, opening schedule, area calculation, and section.

CONCLUSION
The internship has been a really helpful course of time. The internship has been a really helpful period of
time. It helped me professionally as well as technically and academically.
I have acquired much of experience in designing, planning, and other architectural designs while working
as a trainee architect at Design Scape, guided and supported by senior architects. Everything that I learned,
theoretically, at college, never seemed to be enough as a whole different part of seeing it practically was
missing. I was able to see the design method at work here at Design Scape. Through my participation in
numerous projects, I was able to learn about various architectural designs.
Without these best 80 days of my architectural life, my knowledge of architecture would be incomplete. I
am very grateful to everyone who helped me learn during this period.
