The 64th year interunit Zonal event saw a collaboration of SPADE with NASA; its largest online event in zone 6 titled FARRAGO. The theme being ‘Coalescence in Architecture’. As you start your journey as an architectural student, you start gaining perspective about what it means to be an architect. But as you progress, through your courses, competition and extra curriculars one perceives architecture to be a world unto itself; and that at their core, every architect is a designer. The intent behind farrago was to give a glimpse of the many opportunities a designer has in the wider world. The workshop, talk series, cultural and competitions were geared to spark interest and give exposure to some of these possibilities.

In coalescence to the theme, SPADE conducted 4 interview sessions with architects from different backgrounds such as Sustainability, Interior Designer, Product Designer, Pastry Chef, Photographer, Communication Designer, Fabrication designer in a one-one live session to throw light upon today’s trends in architecture. FARRAGO has been an immense success with various national and international architects contributing to our event.

The event was hosted online in 2 phases, namely the workshops on 23rd and 24th of October and the main zonal event held on 30th and 31st October. The event received an overwhelming response, altogether a total of 200 students exhibited interesting work within a very short span of time. The student delegates were invited to participate in several pre-recorded cultural events such as Singing, Instrumental, Dancing, Photography, Videography, Digital Art, Modelling, Sketching and sculpting trash prior to the main event to showcase their talent.

This event enabled students to not only display their forte but also exposed them to various facets of architecture and design.
