Architecture Students in Third Year The workshop for
Architecture students was held at IIT Kanpur during July 22-29, 2023, and 61
participants from 16 colleges across India attended. During the eight-day
workshop, the students learnt architectural and structural aspects of earthquake-resistant design and
implemented it for a project of an office complex for co-working spaces in Guwahati, Assam
- Seismic Zone V. The studio sessions were a mix of desk work and
informal lectures where individual cases were used to illustrate earthquake
engineering concepts. Faculty members who
participated as the resource persons included Prof. Keya
Mitra (IIEST, Shibpur, Howrah), Prof. Vasudha Gokhale and Prof Meera Shirolkar
(Dr. B.N. College of Architecture for Women, Pune), Prof Atanu
