FOAID 2018: A team of students from the World University of Design, mentored by a faculty member, won silver medal at the ‘Expressions’ art installation competition at Festival of Architecture and Interior Designing (FOAID). The competition’s theme was to celebrate five years of FOAID by using five elements in the installation.
The installation made by WUD team was a tribute to the tree-symbol of knowledge and growth. “The tree of emergence” represents five stages of emergence and process of design through different textures of stainless steel.
Mani Singh, second-year student at WUD and team leader, said, “We worked really hard on this installation from purchasing material to working with stainless steel, trying out different textures to making each and every joinery detail. The full-fledged workshops of WUD provided us all the tools and machines that were needed. Our mentor Mrs Aditi Parikh helped us a lot. It was teamwork and dedication of everyone that we have achieved this”.

Starting from concept generation, material sourcing, working with various tools and techniques, fixing till finishing, everything was done by them with their hands. With access to outstanding workshops equipped with all the state-of-the-art machines at our campus students were able to bring this beautiful concept a reality.”
