I would like to thank the institute for collaborating with us on this endeavour, it has been an exciting journey over the last six months interacting with some of the smartest budding designers in the country. The Designathon not only gave the students the much-needed real world exposure to the practice of interior design, contrastingly, it gave us a chance to reflect upon the innocence and first principles design thought process, with which young minds approach design problems," said Akshay Lakhanpal, CEO India, Space Matrix, while speaking about the experience.This resonates with Ayn Rand's famous character Howard Roark's remark - I set my own standards. I inherit nothing. I stand at the end of no tradition. I may, perhaps, stand at the beginning of one," Akshay Lakhanpal added."It is exciting to have partnered with Space Matrix for this unique Designathon. Our college has always encouraged students to come up with their best ideas which resonate with the real world. It is heartening to see the winners and also everyone else who participated in the event. We wish them all the best and hope that this will be the beginning of a long-time association," said Rajiv Mishra, Principal, Sir JJ College of Architecture.The winner received an internship across Space Matrix's India and global studios (a total of six months with two weeks at an international studio) and a cash prize of Rs. 50,000. The tied first runner-ups were awarded a cash prize of Rs 30,000 each and a six-month internship at one of the company's studios in India.The Space Matrix Designathon will continue to collaborate with prestigious design institutions to carry this unique concept forward. The underlying idea is to build a strong design culture and a connected fraternity of designers in India and rest of Asia.This story is provided by NewsVoir. will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
