A three-day festival in March promises to highlight the potential of architecture to students from across South India.
Emphasizing a culture of architectural discovery, Archcult establishes itself as a platform for student interaction that fosters a sense of shared community. Initiating them into the professional world, it creates opportunities to witness, learn about leading architects and understand their journey towards creating a niche for themselves in the world.
It exposes students from colleges across South India to topics trending in this field, encouraging a competitive drive in students to excel in their domain.
Archcult aims to display promising artists’ works through exhibitions, acting as a stage for constructive criticism and acclaim by amateurs and professionals alike.
With these objectives as guidelines, the students of the Department of Architecture, NIT Trichy launched the first Archcult way back in the early 2000s. From a singular event in a 10x10 m studio hall, it has grown into a three-day event. Its present format consists of lectures, workshops, online design competitions, panel discussions, formal and informal events.
The attending student diorama has evolved from a small region-based crowd to a national level reach with a consistent footfall of over 1,000 participants in the last few years. Stemming from our need for esthetic excellence, the symposium is planned over several months of ideation and execution.
The department is decked up using handcrafted luminaries, giant lamp installations, wall art scapes, and other installations. With over a decade of work etched into the bricks, they unfold to tell the story of curiosity and creativity in aspiring students.
This year, ‘Melange’ is the theme of choice. Archcult 2017 seeks to showcase the multitude of directions that are available to move ahead in, after architecture.
