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.
