The YU School of Architecture held its 65 Graduation Exhibition.
This graduation exhibition that was held at the basement gallery of the YU Cheonma Art Center on September 4 was joined by 145 students in the three majors of architecture, architectural engineering and architectural design. The graduation exhibition of the YU School of Architecture was the largest in Korean universities and was judged to be of the highest caliber in terms of the quality of works.
At this exhibit, students of the YU School of Architecture presented futuristic architecture that could be used in various fields based on their knowledge and experience in their majors, while also putting on exhibits their works and discourses that give a glimpse into the future of architecture.
In particular, the ‘2020 YU EXPO PAVILION’ project, which was the outcome of a workshop that students worked on during the summer break, was introduced at the entrance. It attracted huge interest from visitors by proposing nonlinear structures at Cheonmaro using advanced design software, 3D printers and VR technologies.
At the opening ceremony on the 4th, YU President Sur Gil-soo, School of Architecture Alumni Association Chairman Kim Cheol-gyu and heads of architectural organizations of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region and other important figures attended the event to encourage the students. This exhibition will be held until the 7th.
YU School of Architecture Dean Kwon Jong-wook said, “Students combined the knowledge they learned from studying in their majors for several years with creativity, and thus the quality of the works are improving by the year. I am convinced that such achievements will also be useful in their professional careers after graduation.”
Meanwhile, in addition to the graduation exhibition, the YU School of Architecture has been hosting the ‘30th Alumni Anniversary Event’ during the same time every year. This year, alumni from the class of ‘88 working around the nation visited YU and made a donation to the development fund. They gave scholarships to their juniors at YU and spared no efforts in giving professional advice following graduation.
