"The humanitarian organization Jay Nepal asked us to plan a school and volunteer center in a very remote place, a small and very poor village called Bodgaun in Nepal, about three hour's drive north of the capital Kathmandu."
"From the very beginning, we were aware that realizing this project, in many aspects, would be a complex challenge: having started the planning during the pandemic, we had not been able to visit the site, the financial resources were very limited (about one hundred thousand euros) and the planning and realization time was tight."
The humanitarian organization Jay Nepal requested planning of a school and volunteer center in Bodgaun, a remote and impoverished village in Nepal approximately three hours' drive north of Kathmandu. Planning began during the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented site visits and complicated logistics. Financial resources were approximately one hundred thousand euros, creating a constrained budget. The timeline for planning and realization was short. The combination of remote location, pandemic-related access limits, limited funding, and compressed schedule created multiple complex challenges that required cost-conscious design choices, local resource prioritization, and streamlined construction strategies.
