Description:
Vadodara: Over 500 models and 1,000 drawings representing innovative and socially conscious projects are being showcased at the end semester exhibition organised by the School of Environmental Design and Architecture (SEDA) of city-based Navrachana University.
The end semester exhibition – autumn semester 2024-25 showcases projects of students from the Bachelor of Architecture, Bachelor of Design (Interior) and Bachelor of Design (Product Design and Visual Communication) programmes.
The works explore diverse themes including cutting-edge solutions for public spaces and community design, sustainable and modern interpretations of traditional practices, designing for sensory experiences in urban retail environments and construction technology, visual communication, and architectural detailing.
The final-year architecture students worked on urban design proposals for Baroda addressing critical questions around making cities more liveable and enhancing public spaces.
SEDA officials said that during the semester, a special emphasis was placed on design detailing and creating precise drawings that are easily communicable to construction sites.
"The focus on urban planning and design reflects a deep commitment to creating cities that foster community, sustainability, and better quality of life. It is inspiring to see students tackle real-world challenges with such innovative solutions," said Sandeep Virmani, director of Hunnarshala Foundation, who inaugurated the exhibition as the chief guest.
