Research Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide knowledge on the devastating 2015 Nepal earthquake, it's architectural failures and alternative construction methods with the use of various documentation such as video footage screenshots, photographs, and information from previous reports. It will offer alternative methods that can be proposed to those currently residing in Nepal for safer construction methods, styles and overall offer a sense of hope for those affected by the earthquake. The end goal is to inform others on Nepal's conditions and their inability to build lavishly, therefore also taking into account some of the local and cheaper materials that can be used to build safely there.
