For the last 30 years of
my life Architecture according to me was just planning the proper utilization
of space after an Engineer builds a building. Call it my ignorance but I had no
idea that there is so much more to this amazing course until I joined GCA as a
P.R.O and got first hand practical information about this course and now the only
thought that crosses my mind more often than not is “why I didn’t study Architecture myself”.
Like I said after joining
GCA I, know the dynamics and technicalities of this particular course and the
rewards one can reap after he or she is through with the course and mind you the
sky is the limit when we talk about the rewards. Unlike some other technical
course Architecture is not only limited to rod, cement, bricks or software’s, it
involves immense creativity which is developed in every student during this course.
Architecture is also the study of human nature and behavior to a certain
extent, their needs such that nice habitats can be created according to
everyone’s requirements.
The world and its
inhabitants are very style savvy and at the same time very competitive /aware
in this fast paced times. We want the best possible stylish houses at the most
cost effective price. This is where an Architect comes into play who can give
us our dream house in the most efficient and economic budget, which will be
very unique in design and cater to each of our requirements. I have also learnt
that Architects not only design houses, they also do townships, landscapes and furniture
too. In a nutshell now I know that an architect knows more than an engineer, an
engineer can make a building with pillars, posts and walls but an architect
puts life and color to a building with his creativity.
Finally since this article
is for the magazine voice I would also like to add what my inner voice actually
tells me after joining GCA. This college is the vision of a man who himself is
one of the most successful architect not only from Assam but has made his mark
nationally by designing buildings, endless number of human abodes, townships,
etc and now whose aim is to provide quality education to the people of
Northeast so that the enormous talent we have in this part of the country
doesn’t have to go through the pain and troubles of staying away from their
families but can avail the best education in terms of architecture here itself
because our MD sir knows this course and profession like the back of his hand.
Who else can better guide the young creative minds of our State.
