The exhibition inaugurated by Dr. S.V. Kota Reddy; Academic President and Mr. Sudhanshu Varma, Vice President – Learning Services (Middle East and Africa) showcased student designs of futuristic housing based on their interactions and experiences in Catalonia, an autonomous community in Spain.

“It was right after the first month of college when we started working on our concepts and models. I personally had to make about forty rough drawings and re-do some of my designs. There were some days where I used to spend the entire day just sitting with my teachers and discussing about how I could improvise on my work.” said Sahla Rafi, a first year undergraduate student studying architecture.

‘This exhibition could not have been a huge success without the helping hand of our teachers who supported us in every way possible’ said Dhruv Parekh, a second year student from the School of Architecture.
