Workshops / Seminars

ANDC : Gopalan School of Architecture participated in annual NASA design competition held by NASA (National

Association of Students of Architecture) which has membership of more than 10000 students of architecture. The

competition was to convent an abandoned open space for an alternative public use.

This was designed to provide shelter and leisure seating space for hospital commuters. This design was aimed at using

low cost, recycled materials for the building of outdoor furniture. Our college was one of three colleges that

participated in the event from architecture schools in Bangalore and executed by students with the budget of 10,000/-

Gopalan School of Architecture and Planning students with a team of 8 students headed by Narendra P Reddy and

Jenisha r shah took up this challenging space to be transformed into public utility and landscaped garden.

GSAP was shortlisted as one of the 100 entries from a total of 380 entries. GSAP will now involve in community activity

for appropriate intervention of design in public environment. This space was in C.V. Raman General Hospital located in

Indira Nagar, Bangalore. This project was mooted by the Dean GSAP Prof. K.V. Krishna Murthy who motivated and

guided them ably, supported by Principal Dr. S. Sathish.

Achievements

Three plywood modules of cubes and plates size 100X100X100 mm and 100X100X10 mm have been fabricated

for the project. It has been envisaged to experiment with different proportions of aggregates, Alkaline Solution

(NaOH and Na2SiO3), GGBS and Alcofine, to arrive at suitable mix design of variable strength for different

application.

Prof. Nagendra M / Asst. Prof. Dhashrath P / Asst. Prof. Pruthvisagar

GEO - POLYMER PROJECTS : A Project on the use of Geo- Polymer as a replacement for conventional concrete

to be used as both structural and non structural application in building industry has been initiated at GSAP. All the raw

materials required like GGBS and Alcofine were procured and Geo polymer chemicals like Sodium Silicate and Sodium
