The Faculty of Architecture, Dr. M.G.R. University, recently hosted a series of engaging viva sessions, guided by renowned architects — Ar. Prabhakaran, Mr. Simond Selvaraj, Ar. Puvizhi, Ar. Harshini, Ar. Abdul Hudha, Ar. Santhana Iyyappa Sundararaj, Ar. Uthra Mahmood, Ar. Arun Raja Mohan, Ar. Nivas, Ar. Prasad N. Yadav, Ar. Gregory Brown, Ar. Ramesh Kumar, and Ar. Chandhana Ramesh. Their expertise and insights significantly enriched the academic evaluation and learning process.
A special mention to Ar. Gregory Brown, whose review of the 5th Year B.Arch Thesis provided students with invaluable feedback, inspiring them to elevate their presentations and creative thinking. Similarly, Ar. Prabhakaran served as the external examiner for the 5th Year Thesis, motivating students to explore new boundaries in architectural design.
The Third-Year Viva showcased remarkable student works in Resort Design and the Tiny Library competition, with Ar. Chandhana Ramesh offering expert evaluation that left a lasting impact.
Our 2nd Year B.Arch students brought the spirit of Purisai to life through a detailed rural study, capturing the village’s culture, lifestyle, housing types, and traditional architecture in vibrant hand-drawn sheets. This heartfelt exploration celebrated vernacular design and community stories, shared through meticulous observation and creative expression.
We extend our gratitude to Ar. M.C. Ramesh Kumar for his guidance and valuable feedback during the Rural Studio Viva, enhancing the students’ academic journey.
