Every lecture is a learning experience, every edu-tour is a lesson, and a chapter added to one’s academic tenure.
The Lovely School of Architecture and Design of Lovely Professional University was on full power from the 1st of September 2016 to 6th September 2016.
“This is the most exciting part of our academics ; I love this, an outdoor experience, in real time working mode, looking forward to more”, comments Sijo S Nellichapilly, a second year Interior Designing student, hailing from Kerala.
Students saw the event as a platform to polish their inventive design skills in the finest practical modes. The workshop organized by the faculty members of the design department enlivened and thrilled the students. The topics dealt with on the first day were “BRICK BOND” and “BRICK JUNCTION”; the venue being the front yard of BLOCK 8.
The construction workers were specially invited to showcase the mixing of mortar and brick joining to the Design students. The students were shown the tactics of brick bonding and brick functioning, which they themselves practically tried out.
THE ERGO-CONCLAVE:
The Department of Design, on 2nd September 2016, arranged a session for young designers in the Design block to let them understand ERGONOMICS.
“The ambiguity in certain topics learnt was cleared during this orientation session, a refreshing interactive session; wherein I felt the luxury of a comfy atmosphere to raise my doubts” , says Myrthili Patnala, Design student, second year.
ERGONOMICS PACE was discussed by faculty member Ms. Anuradha. The lecture mentioned the main components, elements, and need of ergonomics and the importance of the topic which every designer should know.
THE DAY-OUT..!!!
5th September 2016 was the day fixed for students of Lovely School of Architecture and Design to visit the construction site of the newly built abode of the Chancellor of the Lovely Professional University.
Situated in Jalandhar, the new house was well constructed and spacious. Students could note down the site info, measurements, and ergonomics of the environment and opine on them. A market survey was conducted in which the students were divided into groups, and tasks were assigned for photography, data collection, interaction etc . “
ANZER FURNITURE, a furniture industry and showroom at Panchkula was another location of learning. “They were so welcoming, and we could watch and learn the process of wooden furniture making. They gave us the freedom to ask questions about the process, thereby making us feel comfortable and knowledgeable.” comments Palak, Design student.
The second part was a visit to the INDIRA HOLIDAY HOME. Therein students were asked to work case studies, plan and sketched their ideas about the place. Measurements of the room were given as the next live project in the course. A set of luxurious items were displayed. “Tables of wooden and brass finishes were the main attraction of the day”, comments Sijo Nellickappally, an Interior Design student. The outdoor furniture showroom visit was another novel experience for the group. The instructor explained the pricing, categorisation and other details about various pieces.
This was just one noteworthy stop in the young designers’ journey of learning. The rising sculptures and graffiti work at the Architecture Block are revealing sights that prove the pace at which the design students are being moulded into experts. Indeed a result that calls for an encouraging pat on every designer’s back.
