ASF-UK’s RbD programme, ASF Nepal and UN-Habitat are launching a call for
a multidisciplinary* group of volunteers to support the ongoing post-earthquake
reconstruction process in Bungamati, a badly-damaged historic town in the
Kathmandu Valley with a wealth of traditional architecture, public spaces, heritage and cultural legacies.
Volunteers will learn and work alongside the residents and 15 community architects and engineers, by co-designing reactivating strategies for three neighbourhood clusters in Bungamati, focusing on design, planning
and building techniques. Each cluster is composed by distinct housing typologies, social and spiritual public spaces, as well as cultural practices. The strategies will then be discussed with the municipality and the different stakeholders involved in the larger reconstruction programme of
the Kathmandu Valley.
We are opening a selection process for 3 Volunteer positions in Nepal available
after the workshop, working with ASF Nepal and the RbD team to develop
the projects towards implementation. Accommodation and meals will be
provided!
RbD Nepal 2016 is part of RIBA CPD Providers Assessed Material and RIBA
CPD Core Curriculum
