The 1.5 hours long session began with the introduction to speaker by Prof. Tejashree Lakras. The presentation was given by Architect Nikhil Maniar who had recently won COA thesis award 2020 cycle for his best and wonderful research centred Design Dissertation. The speaker explained the journey of the whole thesis and emphasized upon how a research centred approach developed user and context responsive design solutions in the end. The entire content was presented in 2 parts, first one being a quick powerpoint presentation about the brief idea and abstract of semester 9 detailed research works, followed by second part showing the panels made for semester 9 and 10 works that were sent to COA Jurors for thesis competition. The impressive design strategies for incremental housing sites of industrial workers threw a very good highlight on how the research and design both were more process centred and not product centred one. The presenter was delighted to share the experience, challenges, issues and positive attitudes that he came across during the physical surveys and studies and stressed upon how this kind of exposure is crucial and how it forms a healthy and sensitive basis for design projects. The panels were self explanatory and were conveying the idea of sensible housing module design approach and their adaptive features in very crisp and clear representations. The speaker, during the question answer session, was well appreciated by the audience for his wonderful presentation. A few questions related to the housing issues were answered and discussed. The session ended with a few thanksgiving words.
