ABOUT F.Y.I.
Fathom… Yearn… and Innovate. Words that carry deep meaning in themselves, but as a gestalt they encompass the breadth and depth of human understanding, aspiration and imagination. Words that resonate with all humans as the architects of their own lives and with us as the designers of the spaces that humanity inhabits.
Just as the very first expedition desires to be felt in its totality, as an unforgettable experience, with a rush in its rhythm of unlikeliness, a fractional unsettledness, heavy breaths in pounding senses. That first expedition is what FATHOM. YEARN. INNOVATE. demands one to do.
This magazine shall not deign to set boundaries but purge those inhibitions and let the readers dive in the realm called New.
INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION (IDC) – COMPILATION | 2015 – 2023
Aditya College of Architecture has been constantly striving to academic excellence in architectural education since its inception, through rigor in learning processes and exposure to global practices. In alignment with the vision to create globally recognized leadership in architectural education, the college took the initiative of creating a global platform for under-graduate and post-graduate students as well as young architects to put forth innovative design ideas and push the boundaries of architectural thought. The International Design Competition (IDC) was the first step in this direction.
Each year the college hosts the IDC with a different theme that encapsulates some of the most immediate and urgent concerns that the world faces today, and that we as architects and designers are uniquely positioned to address. From the very 1st IDC that encourages participants to explore the profound questions that pertain to the nature of the sacred in the spaces we inhabit, to the recently concluded IDC that urged participants to interpret the intrinsic relationships that human culture forms with the natural waterbodies that define our existence as a civilization, the journey has been one of constant learning through exploration and discovery.
As we arrive at this significant milestone of 10 years, we look towards the future, steadfast and self-assured that the IDC will continue to nurture the minds of young architects and enrich the discourse on our myriad relationships with the spaces that we inhabit.
