A wonderful blend of mechanics, engineering, art and architecture Is it necessary to demolish all the old buildings and build new ones? With this idea, the students have also presented innovative models on how to start a new positive use within the old historical buildings while preserving their magnificent heritage. Stating that there is a confluence of art, architecture and engineering, the university professor said that disciplinary boundaries are now breaking down in education. This exhibition shows a wonderful blend of mechanical, engineering, art and architecture. In the workshop, the students have created such parametric models. An architecture student can study elective courses in engineering and an engineering student can study elective courses in design or management. Elements made from waste materials Students have created interior elements using waste materials. Students have experimented with newspaper, clay, cloth and plastic waste. One student has created a seat using newspaper, which has also been tested by soaking it in water. Students have created a unique screen by wrapping cloth around a plastic bottle and bonding it with resin. While some have created amazing products using a combination of weaving techniques and newspaper.
