Workshop Details Day wise with Geotagged photographs
Day 1
Prof. Neha Deshpande introduced Project & Project management as a concept to students. She explained its importance for the construction field in the current scenario & project lifecycle. Prof. Neha also explained the relevance of project management in the architecture field & how it is beneficial for architects. Topics such as Who is project manager and his role & responsibilities were also discussed.
Day 2
Prof. Neha Deshpande explained the role of Project manager in a project & his competency. The various knowledge areas involved & phases involved in a construction project were discussed in detail with different examples. Scope management, risk management, time management, Quality control & monitoring were a few of the topics discussed in the day 2 of the workshop.
Students were asked to present a case study of the architectural project with learning from the key knowledge areas.
Day 3
Prof. Neha Deshpande introduced the topic of Project lifecycle to students & different stages of construction phases. A presentation was given and then a broad idea of how the project is taken ahead from planning to execution was discussed. Quiz was played with the understanding of the 3-day learning process.
Day 4
Prof. Prakash Shringarpure introduced concepts of PERT & CPM to students & how they are beneficial for project execution. Also, he explained the Critical Path Method in detail for understanding of network analysis.
Day 5 and 6
Prof. Prakash Shringarpure continued Network analysis in detail with the help of various examples & solving problems in class. Exam was conducted on the last day to test the knowledge of the students gained during the workshop.
Details of the event
This 5 day workshop was conducted during June to Sept, 2024 in the third floor studio with approximately 31 students of 3rd year B.Arch. as attendees.
