建筑a ‘living classroom’ in eastern Nepal

Author:Cornelia Dietz

在农民是老师的地方，村庄是教室，而8000米的垂直梯度是“垂直大学”。

KTK-Belt, Inc.，，，，is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to catalyse new models of biodiversity conservation and environmental learning in eastern Nepal. It works with teachers, farmers, youth and women to create a ‘Vertical University’. The idea of this sustainable project is to create a ‘living classroom’ in the form of a 7,620-metre vertical forest corridor stretching from Koshi Tappu (67 m), Nepal’s largest aquatic bird sanctuary, to Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), theworld’s third tallest peak。

“垂直大学”是教和保存的船只6,600种开花植物，，，，800种鸟类和180种哺乳动物that are found in eastern Nepal. In a mountainous country like Nepal, where there is exceptional biological, climatic and cultural diversity from the tropical plains to the alpine Himalayas, conventional education paradigms where students sit in a stationary classroom, divorced from their surroundings, make little sense.

With a shared belief to foster a可持续行星，Leica Geosystems支持这种新的生物多样性保护和环境学习项目通过捐赠Leica Disto™D810touch pro pack. This complete professional system for convenient aiming, precise measurements and documenting the results with pictures, includes a Leica DISTO™ D810 touch, theLeica FTA360tripod adapter and theLeica Tri70三脚架包装在一个崎and的箱子中。

创建灵活的多功能社区空间

KTK-belt研究员在建造第一个学习场所，户外学习以及Yangshila儿童和村民的户外学习和社区空间时使用了Disto™D810触摸。当地劳动者在中心的建设，文档和修改中使用Disto™进行主持展览和其他活动。

“在施工期间，我们与几乎没有正规教育的当地劳动工人合作。Leica Disto™工具使我们能够根据设计和工程团队提交的图纸确保结构是按照设计的。该设备易于理解，可以由我们的本地工人操作。在这些天气条件下，内置相机在外面也很棒，”KTK-Belt Studio的联合创始人兼联合主任Priyanka Bista说。

生态校园是由回收的运输容器，竹子，石头和泥土建造的。

The structure built using DISTO™ has45平方米，大约是一个典型村庄房屋的大小。现代结构由堆叠的可回收运输集装箱，拆除的当地谷仓的再生木材以及本地竹子，石头和泥浆都有两层折叠的门，打开周围的景观accelerate sustainable livelihood opportunities在社区。顶部容器是从八个太阳能电池板的阴影中冷却的，这些太阳能电池板提供了建筑物的全部能源需求。登山者葡萄藤，垂直花园和绿色屋顶用于显示不同的方式整合植被并被动地冷却建筑物，提供生态系统服务。

“We are so happy to see that already some campus is built, and they could build up a flexible multi-purpose community space with the help of the Leica DISTO™,”Leica Disto计划主管Markus Hammerer说™Leica Geobob综合app下载systems的手持产品。

建筑商的教学工具

为了招募，训练和建立青年研究员在该项目的各个领域领导的能力，KTK-belt创建了腰带研究员计划。到目前为止，前五名青年研究员接受了建筑，设计，款待，户外教育以及保护和GIS的培训。

“Ever since I was a child, I’ve been interested in construction. Unlike my sisters, I was always attracted to building tools. I am also driving myself these days to learn how to use a measuring tape, scale, calculator and even a laser distance metre in order to draw proper architectural drawings. Seeing us in the construction site, women in the village have become encouraged to work for themselves as well,”KTK-belt建筑研究员Pabitra Magar说。

带有直观的功能和功能，例如4倍变焦点查找器，带有Disto™d810触摸的腰带，即使他们看不到目标上的红色激光点，因为它太远了，或者太阳太亮了。刚刚以交叉显示为目标的研究员瞄准了正确的目标。

Ensuring a scalable and sustainable future with technology that is used to do its greatest good – this is at the heart of Hexagon’s approach. KTK-Belt is using technology to leverage the potential of biodiversity, indigenous knowledge, and people-plant interactions.
