MATERIAL-

1. Terra Cotta
Is the local material in Nepal. Most regularly show this image on the wall in there temples. Some Kinds of the images, such as moon and star always be used. This kind of material can be used also like “ double skin” in this building. Can be used to make elevation seems like much more pure and clean. Furthermore it can prevent sand winds bring and rain’s fall. It will be outside skin, in addition can breath.
2. Wooden Venetian Blinds
These kinds of blinds can not only make the space more allowing ventilation, but also take the inside space elasticity. When doors opens, inside space can have a capacity more and more patient immediately.
3. Wood Grating
Use this composition, that is cheap and not to waste too much time to make it. Can make outside space have sunshade effect. In raining days, just put oilskin on the composition. It will be a bigger gathering space than general.

Thru' google search, I came to know about this project. Is it functioning ? I am recently working in Kathmandu Model Hospital and is very much interested to develop the telemedicine in Nepal. I am surprised to see your project but not updated ? And also no Nepali people involved. That is the shame for us. I really want to help you if this project is going on. The only possible way to develop medical system in rural Nepal is telemedicine. So actually we have started some programmes on telemedicine. It would be nice if We can work together.
