The competition entry sent by Universal Design elective students from BNCA has been shortlisted at the NSDC amongst more than 80 entries received from colleges across the country. Congratulations to the students!
More about the competition entry :
NSDC(National Student Design Competition) is organised every year by School of Planning and Architecture Bhopal under the leadership of Dr.Rachana Khare, an expert in universal design. The theme of the competition this year is
UNIVERSAL USABILITY IN WORLD HERITAGE SITES.
The student group took up the World heritage site of Ellora Caves and under the mentorship of Prof. Kavita Murugkar, studied the accessibility status of the site by applying various research methods like access audit, physical mapping, walk and talk audit and visitor surveys.
On analyzing the data collected, students came up with a design proposal to enhance the heritage experience and accessibility considering different types of visitors- abled and disabled by incorporating Universal design principles. The design proposal was prepared at two levels - for the entire site and for an individual cave, thus addressing the issue in whole and part.

The students and Prof. Kavita Murugkar visited SPA Bhopal for the final round of the jury and also attended a Universal Design workshop the next day, specially organised by SPA Bhopal for the finalists.The workshop was conducted by SPA faculty members at the world heritage site of Sanchi Stupa.
