The last week has seen around 80 people in the college attending the PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP by the EPIC DRAMAS....

Continuing the dots where we left them.... here we are again! The council has decided to arrange a photo exhibition in coming few days. This exhibition is in co-ordination with the competition; of which the details had been given on the workshop day itself...!!!


Yes ....talking about the themes for the competition....
1. Epic Dramas
2. abstract
3. Vision
4. Points and lines
5. Dominant Buildings
6. Night life of Nagpur

 following are the description of the themes...


EPIC DRAMAS :-  Each day and every day of our life has some or the other emotions in it, spices and the required flavors. Obviously not necessary... there will be a day when it would prove to be the most boring or monotonous .... but then our lives are always full of dramas! Capture those beautiful aka the most interesting dramas in your daily life...

ABSTRACT:- Ab abstract is abstract....this term has no specific definition.. it can be said on a broader zone that its a visual language of form and colors and lines to create a sense of independence of realm in this world. for photographers across the globe, western art and renaissance and perspectives have been a major influence in this category.

 VISION:- Vision Photography is all about individual perceptions.What a person might think..would be worldwide different from the other person's point of view. Its all about appeal. An individual appeal.

 LINES AND POINTS:- lines and points and planes are all about the scenario geometries. its again about perspectives, but in more specified dimensions. connecting dots...

 DOMINANT BUILDINGS:- you seriously need a description on creating dominance? please guys we are good enough.

NIGHT LIFE IN NAGPUR:- Nagpur has recently seen a drastic change in the cultures of how people have started living....basically an improved quality of lifestyle is what we can term it. yes, there has been change.... And we feel that CHANGE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF LIVING... We thereby want you to get yourself out of your comfortable zones, go out and define what Nagpur is for you.... why Night? its there when it comes alive....

Its been a long while ...I feel a very long time that the college has seen any activity on the blog, but yes then architects are busy....aren't they? phew! I just can't remember all the things I have to write about.... A lot has been said and done over the last month and a half.
                                                             after the long tiring Diwali celebrations, the IDEANS had a splendid time writing their papers in a very "disappointing" center ' ********* of Architecture'. So all the public (juniors) who will give their future exams... please be careful..:D
How was your experience??? Someday, after all our vivas get over, I will ask our GS to conduct a session like this as well!! It would be fun...:P By the way, I have come across some good gossip mongers around the campus!!!
                                            From the word  "GOSSIP", does anybody remember the hue that was created before the exams, that the NU was postponing the exams? I guess half the janta didnt study due to the unfortunate rumors! Poor we, exams bhi postpone nahi hui, padhai bhi nahi hui....and mila kya to "babaji ka thullu"!!!
                            Anyways, no talking tom now! December saw a fresh start to the academics with a new fervor, awaited juries and vivas, submissions! We are soooo hard working you know.. The campus of I.D.E.A.S. never ceases to stop abuzz, its like a religion you know. you will always find a student here and there discussing their ideas with a teacher and so on. What made December a bit special was, the comeback of the foundation batch of IDEAS. Yes the senior-most students of the college were due to return to college after their internship and boyyy ..... they came back with so much to share... those who didnt interact with the seniors....lazy buggers, get back to work!!
                                        Christmas is here, and a few days apart we would be entering a very  happy new year 2014...i know the third year batch is supposed to give their vivas on 30th and 31st....but I hope they take this as a positive note to enter the new year!! All your woes would be ending before the new year!! At least we can hope for the best....as they say "umeed pe duniya kayam hai"... 



hope you people out there are having a good time in Nagpur with the minimal and beautiful winters here...I wish all the Ideans a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very happy and prosperous new year..2014!!! keep up the spirit of living.... b'cause


                                          "LIFE IS A CELEBRATION
                                             MERRY X'MAS & HAPPY
                                                  NEW YEAR 2014"

  

SIMPLY UNUSUAL.......THAT'S WHAT I..D.E.A.S. IS ALL ABOUT...

A Normal Saturday in the college.... low attendance, people gearing up for their last submissions!!! some roaming in fear about the internals ....while others are just here..to take their positions and start a usual weekend!!!!!

suddenly what you see... a girl fully decked up in the campus .. okay we get it girls do deck up... but in ghagra-choli?? that too in college? 

Maajra Kya Hai Bhai.....???

A murmur is heard across the corridors...preparations are galore... . yes the new bees are busy having a weekend classic time in the lobby..rangolis are made, flowers are being pinned up..(yes that is how we term it in architecture- sheets are made and are being pinned up..like that!) 

a beautiful design on the entrance foyer...

 

The point is that the students have a penchant  for all types of festivities be it janmashtami, holi or for that matter be it the NAVRATRI.....and celebrating all these things shows a sense of harmony amongst them!!! 

 The energy and the good will navratri spirit was at an all time high.. the juniors had well co-or-dinted and arranged a nice program with beautiful decorations for the garba raas... Much Appreciated!

Unfortunately the 5th and the 4th years couldn't be a part of it! and those among who remained absent...you guys missed it...!!! 

ON this auspicious occasion the IDEAS FAMILY wishes all its members a happy navratri and a prosperous year ahead!!!!!

SOME GLIMPSES....... the juniors at their best....

A first year student Chinmay Pathak put it very correctly - IT WAS THE FIRST EVER ACTIVITY CONDUCTED BY OUR CLASS, THE MUSIC,GARBA MADE US DANCE TO THE VERY HILT. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE...!!!!

* on behalf of all the batches, we appreciate the efforts of the first years and congratulate them for the event!!!

...........HAPPY NAVRATRI AND HAPPY DUSSHERA!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

HAPPINESS IS… BEING QUALIFIED FOR ANDC TROPHY

Yes ....IDEANS did it again....!!!

Annual NASA Design Competition is the qualifying trophy for the Convention.

Topic of ANDC-13 was ‘Architectural Sensitization, an observation...’ we had to choose a site in the CBD of the city and were expected to give a proposal for a project within the modern context with due respect and acknowledgement of the old.

Before everybody sticks back to their work....let’s make this more interesting......we are sure that the young IDEANS don’t have much knowledge about NASA....

“The National Association of Students of Architecture, commonly referred to as NASA, is one of the largest communities of architectural students in Asia. 208 colleges of the architectural community are members of this organization. NASA provides an interactive platform for students all over the country by holding conventions both at the national and zonal levels. Colleges all over India compete for the prestigious trophies which cover various aspects of architecture. We strive to provide assistance to the society through the ideas that develop during the convention. The ideas that materialize during this conglomeration are also used to provide technical assistance to the economically backward sections. The conventions also witness participation from various colleges in countries under SAARC. Architects across the SAARC nations have an opportunity to interact with each other and come up with productive solutions”.

Co-ordinated by Kunal Welekar and executed at Vinay Girhe’s place, we on behalf of the whole unit of Ideas congratulate team Andc for their commendable job in the competition and look forward to their success in the Hyderabad round. The Result of the Trophy was declared on 5th October 2013 and with all their efforts Our Entry Qualified and we are eligible for 56th Annual NASA convention which would be held at Hyderabad….. following are the people who have contributed to the trophy…

A REVERENCE TO THE TEACHERS......

While moving ahead in this fast paced life, we often forget to thank those 
who have contributed to our growth. Yes these are our teachers who tirelessly work with us, like an encouragement without demanding anything in return and only wish for their children to succeed in life. The teachers’ community needs a thanksgiving and a sheer motivation for the inspirational work they do out of interest.

The Teachers’ Day was celebrated with a lot of zeal and fervour at I.D.E.A.S. on 10^th of September. The theme of the function paid tribute to the traditional educational culture prevailing in the Indian Sub-Continent. Rendering a beautiful composition of Sharda Maa by Sawani Wakharkar, the traditional ceremony of lighting the lamps took place. As the moments passed, we realised that the hall had grown in a sensitive silent place thus registering each and every picture in the minds of students……

We were enthralled…

               

                       “Music prevails in nature. Lend them ears they will resonate in your heart.”

This simple truth was exemplified by the young Ideans who conceived a fabulous idea of live music with their crude instruments. That kind of talent is being looked forward to….Chinmay- Shruti gang please gear up!!!!  A classic medley of various folk dances showing the cross culture across the length and width of India were performed by the students. Indeed, the Ideans are gifted with the correct steps, jhatkas and the proper beats..! 

“It was a peaceful moment to see the teachers enjoying the programme with a wide grin on their faces...”

With a deep gratitude laying within for their teachers… a small memento was gifted by the students having a silver Pan Leaf, Supari, and Flower which symbolised a Ganesh idol. The celebration came to an end with a sumptuous traditional lunch – patodi rassa!

We look forward that I.D.E.A.S. witnesses many such Teachers’ Day in future. The function was tended to by the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th year students in association with the CONCEPT ‘S’!
