B.Arch. students at Woxsen University (2021-2026 batch) recently completed a hands-on project in Advanced Building Construction and Materials, constructing two geodesic domes with repurposed PVC pipes.
Under the guidance of Dr. Ravi Kumar S. and Prof. Shweta Prasad, they built a 1.5-meter 2v Silo Dome (2.2 meters with extension) and a 1.5-meter 2v 3-Extension Tunnel Dome.
The project emphasized sustainable construction and enhanced students' understanding of dome mechanics and load distribution, while fostering creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
