 “AVARTAN”
is IESCOA’s annual cultural festival, a vivacious illustration of not just artistic
but also intellectual talents of the architecture students that go beyond the range
of the college curriculum. This year we celebrated our festival. Dance, music,
on the spots, treasure hunt, seminars, workshops all formed a part
of our celebration

 In
schools of architecture, colour is rarely a subject of serious inquiry in the design
studio. It usually appears only in the final phase of the design process. And the
choices of colour may never have a rational reason. Colour had traditionally been
considered secondary to building form and structure by many design professionals.
Since colour can clarity and define space, form and structure, the final colour
decisions should be focused and specific.

IES College of Architecture has conducted a Seminar on ‘COLOURS’
in association with Epicon Friends of Concrete on 18th September 2010.
|
The Seminar presented a range of ideas with Colour being an integral part in various
aspects of creative applications such as paintings, architecture, landscape or graphics.
The speakers from different field included prominent Architects, Painters, Landscape
Architects and Film Makers.It was an endeavor of a team to make a participants aware
of a simple thing like Colours and help them to apply in the field of expertise.
It was an astounding success.

Building Castles: From the Air to the Ground
Every year, all the events and activities that take place during our cultural fest
is based around a theme and the same is being done this year. This time, our theme
was – Building Castles: From the Air to the Ground. It has been partly derived from
the phrase ‘building castles in the air’ which is a metaphor for ‘day-dreaming’
or ‘imagination’.
Anyone can build castles in the air. But in the case of architects, that is literally
what he is doing. In a sense of word, every architect’s first step is to build castles,
as he always begins his design process by imagining it in his head and putting it
on paper. In fact, it is the job of the Architect to actually bring his imaginary
‘castles’ from the air to the ground. This year’s theme follows the creativity
and imagination that goes into the design process of the Architect.

 Fresher's
Party: With every new academic year, the college has an addition
to it - a fresh batch of aspiring architects that we call ‘the freshers’. What better
way to get to know our juniors than by throwing a welcome party
for them? An interactive senior-junior session along with music, dance and dinner
helped us in developing a good rapport with the juniors and in getting to know them
a little better.
|
 Farewell
Party: Bidding farewell to someone is never easy but as it is said
‘all good things come to an end and so does the 5-year-long course of being an architecture
student. So on behalf of all the students, the 5th year batch put up a small show
for the ex-students to show that no matter how far they go they will be remembered
and missed dearly.

Dandiya Night: Can the season of Navratri be complete
without the garba and dandiya celebrations? Keeping
their everyday attire aside, the girls with pretty chaniya cholis and the boys in
their kurta pyjamas got together to have an evening of fun, not to mention, the
golas and garam chana.
|
 Teachers
Day: No matter how much we grumble about our professors giving
us assignments and deadlines to meet, we all have to agree that college without
them would just not be the same. Imparting their knowledge and helping us to get
better at our work is what they do. Making the most of 5th September, or Teachers
Day, we showed our gratitude towards them for all they’ve done by hosting a fun
afternoon with games and music followed by
lunch.
|
 Sports:
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. We not only believe in this phrase but
also follow it. Games like Carrom, table tennis, football, cricket
and badminton were organized for students which give them a break
from their hectic schedules, to indulge in some fun.
