Subject: Enhancing ambience and applying Architectural language to the walls of college.
Attended by: Fourth Year students
The purpose of this activity was to make the building lively and also to get inspired by the similar activities happening in other Architecture colleges in SPPU, India and abroad, to motivate students to take part in college activities.
This activity kick started initially as a wall painting cum mural competition named ‘Energized space’ which was launched internally in the college on 05/07/2018 with extended submission date of 28/08/2018. The students submitted the concept sketches on following topics (briefs were provided to the students)-
Each category was headed by a faculty and a student in charge.
The meeting was held at Principal’s cabin and headed by Principal Dr. Mahendra Sonawane and attended by Prof. Apoorva Gijare (faculty head for competitions), Prof. Gurudeep Chikhalkar, Prof. Swati Bhide & Prof. Shilpa Patil. The panel of faculty was selected for the selection of the entries. The selected panel is headed by Prof. Gurudeep Chikhalkar and has Prof. Swati Bhide & Prof. Shilpa Patil as members. The faculty panel selected the entries from all 12 categories.
All faculty members and Principal sir brainstormed on the various concepts from Architectural books, internet and through student entries for each wall in subsequent meetings and finalized the artwork for each wall. Each faculty was assigned two walls and the concepts for those two. The dimensional drawings were prepared of those artworks by Faculties with the help of group of students.
All the walls were first marked by chalks and markers and then painted with each themes.

1st year enthusiastically working on the walls
To help students understand the cross sections of buildings we built a prototype section of a building mimicking Internet hub to the Overhead water tank and original grey portion of the wall became the ground line, and also the dust bin adjacent to the wall became the Underground water tank
Final year students were also very proactive and chose the most difficult artwork for the 2nd floor corridor in front of the 3rd year class. The artwork they patiently did with the help of some juniors is the imitation of “Escher’s illusion”.

The wall adjacent to the doodle shows an ancient temple painted in monochrome theme.
The corridor on the left side of the staircase on 3rd floor is a painted collage of landscape spaces and building blocks.
Process of the painting
The wall opposite to the landscape collage has a theme of dynamic façade. Executed with different phases like - open semi-open and closed - of the façade on the principles of parametricism under the guidance of Prof. Preeti Pawar.
The same wall continuing inside the corridor is decorated with different textures and colors filled in the paper plates and paper cups of different sizes. This wall is entirely done by 4th year students.
The mood of the library has entirely changed and it is now encouraging students to use this space & read more books because of the artwork done jointly by 4th year and 3rd year students which says ‘open your mind’ to the new world of Architecture.
