THESIS PROPOSAL
BACHELOR IN ARCHITECTURE 2017
EVERY NATION HAS ITS OWN SYSTEM OF
GOVERNANCE AND EVERY SYSTEM IN SOME WAY
HAS SEPARATION OF POWER INTO EXECUTIVE,
LEGISLATURE AND JUDICIARY .
• NEPAL EXPERIENCED PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IN
1951, AFTER THE END OF FEUDAL RANA REGIME
• THERE WAS NO PARLIAMENT BUILDING FOR
ASSEMBLY FUNCTIONS THEN
• IN 1970 AD, DESIGN COMPETITION WAS HELD FOR
DESIGN OF “RASTRIYA PANCHAYAT BUILDING”
• THE DESIGN OF AR. G.D.BHATTA WAS APPROVED
BUT COULDNOT COMPLETE DUE TO VARIOUS
SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL FACTORS
• AFTER RESTORATION OF MULTIPARTY DEMOCRACY
IN 1991 AD, THE OLD RANA BUILDING WAS
ADAPTIVELY REUSED TO HOLD ASSEMBLY
FUNCTIONS
▪ NEPAL HAS BEEN DECLARED A FEDERAL
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, ABOLISHING THE 240-
YEAR-OLD MONARCHY SINCE MAY 28, 2008
▪ THE CONSTITUTION OF NEPAL 2015 (2072) IS
THE SEVENTH CONSTITUTION OF NEPAL WHICH
WAS PROCLAIMED BY THE PRESIDENT OF
NEPAL ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2015 (ASOJ 3, 2072)
▪ CONSTITUTION OF NEPAL, ADOPTED ON 20
SEPTEMBER 2015, PROVIDES FOR THE DIVISION
OF THE COUNTRY INTO 7 FEDERAL PROVINCES
▪ THERE ARE 31 POLITICAL PARTIES IN NEPAL
HISTORY- PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IN NEPAL
CURRENT POLITICAL SCENERIO
“THE CHALLENGE FOR ARCHITECTURE IS TO EXPRESS
THIS SUBTLE AND DYNAMIC PROCESS - THE BALANCE
BETWEEN THE SEAT OF POWER AND THE SOURCE OF
POWER……”
- CHARLES JENCKS
CURRENTLY, THE WORK OF LEGISLATURE IS CARRIED OUT IN ICC
COMPLEX (1) AND SOME BUILDINGS(ADAPTED) IN SINGHA DURBAR (2)
▪ "PARLIAMENT" GENERALLY REFERS TO A LEGISLATURE
WITHIN A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT.
▪ A LEGISLATURE IS A DECISION-MAKING ORGANIZATION,
USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
THAT HAS THE POWER TO ENACT, AMEND AND REPEAL
LAWS.

THESIS PROPOSAL
BACHELOR IN ARCHITECTURE 2017
THE PARLIAMENT BUILDING EMBODIES AN IMAGE OR
COMMANDING PRESENCE OF STATE AND EVOKES THE IDEA
OF NATIONAL IDENTITY, PRIDE AND DISCOURSE OF POWER
▪ A COMPLEX BEING A PLACE FOR NATIONAL DECISION
MAKING
▪ A FORMAL INSTITUTION FOR ALL LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS
INCLUDING FOLLOWING MAJOR TASKS:
• MAKING LAWS, PLANS , POLICIES
•REPRESENTING CONSTITUENCIES
•DEBATE AND DISCUSS ISSUES
•SPECIAL COMMITTEE FOR SPECIAL
TASKS
•FORMATION OF GOVERNMENT
•OVERSIGHT
PROPOSAL AIMS ON STUDYING AND DESIGNING A
NEW LEGISLATURE PARLIAMENT WHICH IS
FUNCTIONALLY SOUND, SYMBOLICALLY
REPRESENTATIVE AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.
FURTHERMORE, TO DEVELOP AN APPROPRIATE STATE
ARCHITECTURE THAT MEETS THE PEOPLE AND
FURTHER EXPLORE THE DEMOCRATIC LANGUAGE OF
PARLIAMENT AND PUBLIC SPACE TO DEVELOP AN
APPROPRIATE STATE ARCHITECTURE THAT MEETS THE
PEOPLE AND FURTHER EXPLORE THE DEMOCRATIC
LANGUAGE OF PARLIAMENT AND PUBLIC SPACE.
• THE FUNCTIONS OF THIS COMPLEX NOW ARE SCATTERED
IN MANY INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS, SO ITS NECESSARY TO
INSTITUTIONALIZE THE LEGISLATURE AND ENHANCE
FUNCTIONAL EFFICIENCY,
• THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF BUILDINGS NOT ONLY ADD
TO FUNCTIONAL DEFICIENCY BUT ALSO RAISES SERIOUS
SECURITY ISSUES
• NEPAL, NOW HAS NEW POLITICAL STATUS, UNSIMILIAR TO
PREVIOUS ONE, SO A NEW IMPROVED AND WELL
DESIGNED PARLIAMENT HOUSE IS REQUIRED
PROJECT DESCRIPTION OBJECTIVES JUSTIFICATION
“. . . A parliament building is a public building which
should say something very powerful about democracy. It
has to express the role it has to play and tell people that
this is your city, this is your state and you must
participate in it.”

INDOOR AIR QUALITY
• INDOOR ENVIRONMENT CAN BE MORE
HAZARDOUS THAN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT
IN THE ABSENCE OF PROPER LIGHT AND
VENTILATION
• INDOOR GARDENS CAN BE THE SOLUTION TO
SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS
FUNCTIONAL SPACES
FUNCTIONAL SPACES INCLUDE SECRETARIAT, COMMITTEE
OFFICES, PARTY OFFICES AND LIBRARY SPACES
USER’S SATISFACTION DEPENDS ON HUMAN FACTORS SUCH AS :
▪ NATURAL LIGHT
▪ PRIVACY
▪ COMFORT
▪ BETTER FLEXIBILITY IN PLANNING WORK STATIONS.
▪ BETTER NATURAL LIGHTING AND VENTILATION.
▪ BETTER COMMUNICATION AND FLOW OF WORK.
▪ HIGHER EFFICIENCY: USABLE SPACE AS HIGH AS 80-90%
OFFICE PLANNING MODULE:
OFFICE LAYOUT IS OFTEN BASED ON A MODULE DERIVED WITH
REFERENCE TO COMMON FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT S AND NECESSARY
CLEARANCES.
• FOR LARGE GENERAL OFFICES, PLANNING IS BASED UPON ONE DESK
AND CHAIR AND IS THUS ABOUT 5 BY 6 FEET.
• IN THE LAYOUT OF PRIVATE OFFICES THE CONTROLLING FACTORS
ARE THE MINIMUM PRACTICAL OFFICE LAYOUT WITH THE WALL
AND WINDOW DESIGN. A PLANNING MODULE OF 4 TO 5 FT. WORKS
REASONABLY WELL FOR THIS PURPOSE.
• WITH THIS MODULE THE SMALLEST OFFICE WOULD BE 8 TO 10 FT.
WIDE
• SPACE PER PERSON: 8 TO 13 SQ.M(OPTIMUM 10SQ.M)
• TYPICAL PRESIDENT'S OFFICE OR CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD: 23.22 TO
37.16M2 (4 TO 5 WINDOWS IN LENGTH)
• TYPICAL VICE-PRESIDENT'S OFFICE: 13.93 TO 23.22M2 (3 TO 4
