TROPHIES , EVENTS , ANDC 16-Oct-2021

The Annual NASA Design Convention belongs to NASA and focuses on current trends andapproaches seen being applied in the Annual NASA design competition. It acts as the main and qualifying steptowards winning the convention of that particular year. This year the brief talks about Solace of a SoothingShade in the Oppressive Heat of Day, which goes on to explain the heartless and ignorant response showntowards construction workers. Construction workers are known for their tireless work that they provide buthave never earned any respect or wage equal to that. Highlighting on their shelter that they make duringconstruction, it is something that they quietly compromise on, they are always disturbed by soot and smoke.Many pregnant working mothers tie a chulla for their baby closer to their work area while also constantlyproviding a hand without that being a factor of ignorance towards their work. Their babies go unnoticed duringthese times victimizing them to the debris that may fall during construction. Governments have become awareof this yet continue to come up with solutions other than just helping them and providing them back. Theycome with strategies where construction workers are introduced to workplaces and fellow workers new to themto avoid unification towards a cause. The trophy this year stands for participants to bridge that lifestyle gap anddesign a mobile shelter suitable to any terrain, place or climatic conditions by providing safety, security andprivacy. The shelter must be flexible enough to go through iterations that might take place during differentphases of construction of that particular building the workers will be working on. Students from won citationfor their work on. Students from won Special Mention for their work on.
