Kathmandu: Asian Paints successfully concluded the 12th edition of the Kaleidoscope – All Nepal Architecture & Interior Design Competition 2024-25 with an inspiring award ceremony held at Hotel Marriott, Naxal Kathmandu on 21st Jestha, 2082. The event served as a celebration of young design talent and a platform that bridges academic innovation with professional practice.
Gracing the occasion as Chief Guest was the Honorable Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Teju Lal Chaudhary, along with Special Guest, Mayor of Kirtipur Municipality, Mr. Krishna Man Dangol. The event brought together key stakeholders from across the architecture and design community, including senior faculty members from Nepal’s leading architectural colleges, past winners, participating students, and distinguished architects and interior designers.
Kaleidoscope aims to provide a practical platform for the next generation of architects and interior designers by offering academic students hands-on experience through live projects and exposure to real-world, large-scale industry practices. This initiative helps them gain practical knowledge, refine their creativity, and enhance their readiness for professional careers.
This year’s competition focused on a compelling live project – the conceptual design of an International Futsal Stadium in Kirtipur, developed in collaboration with Kirtipur Municipality. Spanning 12,880 square meters, the project challenged participants to combine functionality, sustainability, and innovative design principles, reflecting global standards while honoring local context. The esteemed winners of the event were selected through a rigorous multi-round evaluation conducted by a panel of distinguished and impartial jury, featuring renowned senior architects, a representative from Kirtipur Municipality, and SONA (Society of Nepalese Architects).
Asian Paints remains committed to fostering industry-academic collaboration and empowering youth through creative challenges that prepare them for the realities of architectural and interior design professions. The 12th edition of Kaleidoscope marks another milestone in this journey of inspiration, mentorship, and excellence.
