Two day Design workshop was conducted for all students of First Year on Friday, 4th April 2025 and Sunday, 6th April 2025.
HANDSON WORKSHOP FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS
A 3-day activity was conducted by the Building Construction faculty members at BNCA for all First-year students on 20th, 21st and 27th March 2025. The intent of the workshop was to provide experiential hands-on learning for construction of bamboo pavilion and geodesic dome along with arches, vaults and domes using brick and mud mortar. The students were engrossed in the complete process of building, right from pugging to preparing the mortar and from setting up the formwork to finishing the masonry structures. The students hence understood design application and choice of building material with brick and bamboo. The introduction to geometry in design through construction of geodesic dome was imperative. The joy of building with their own hands induced confidence among the students to apply these materials in design studios as well.
