Project Information
The workshop organised by CEPT university, Ahmedabad “Experiencing Construction: Aerated Concrete Workshop” is primarily focused on the practical exposure to construct with AAC blocks as a building material. Stage 1: Advanced material in constructionThis part of the workshop focused on the various materials like self-compacting concrete, lightweight concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, geo-polymer concrete, porous concrete etc. This was done by the theoretical inputs and the laboratory demonstration of few of them. Stage 2: Autoclaved Aerated ConcreteThis part of the workshop focused on the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete as material for construction, testing of various properties of the material and the construction with the same material on campus supported with relevant site visits.The exercise was oriented to give the opportunity to students to have their own site where they build a small space in front of the existing crèche for the children from line out to roof, to give exposure of the practical aspects of construction on site. The students were involved in all the activities from line out to the roof construction, giving them the hands-on understanding of issues and difficulties on site, cost and quantities of materials, labour and the time taken for construction.

Sculpture Competition: Design and Demonstration of a sculpture inspired by the painting ‘TREE’ Semester 5, April 2016
Project Information
The sculpture is inspired by ‘The Tree’ (1935), a masterpiece by famous American abstract artist Arthur Dove. Painting itself has a very deep meaning and is a abstract representation of stages of life. The gradeted colours evoke a tree’s profile with embryonic organism. The concept of bloom and decay of tree is well explained through visual language. The growth or the bloom in life is represented by the cuboids of the sculpture in increasing sizes. The birth or the begining is expressed by the smallest cuboids at the bottom which graduallyevolves into larger cuboid. A point comes when the growth is shunted and the decay begines. This decay is depicted by the sculpture by the reducing sizes of the cubiod. A feeling of shades and and sorrow is felt because of the decreasing sizes of the cubiods. The carving done on all sides of the cuboid are the abstract representation of the tree. Lower four cuboids depict the stem of the tree which grows from bottom to top. The upper three cuboids have rough crippled texture which denotes the foliage of the tree. The crippled texture decreases from bottom to top denoting the decay. This cavity and texture plays a mejor role in the asthestics of the structure. The jali frame is an abstract form of an art which makes you feel the enclosed volume. The leaf like frame acts as an egg or a cacoon to the entire sculpture. This all concepts of Arthur Dove’s the tree are well represented in the sculpture.
