The Society seeks to create a platform for students’ interaction and promotes architecture through organizing workshops, colloquiums, seminars and talks amongst the stakeholders. It is mainly formed to enhance the architectural exposure of the students so that they can get hands-on experience of activities and construction technology emerging today.
Being a society run by students of a creative field, SSA not only does the management and operations part but the innovative and creative part as well. The BITOTSAV Infocell, which is supposed to be the entry pavilion for the BITOTSAV, the techno-cultural fest of the Institute, exhibits itself to be the most creative part of the event is a product of society. The entire family of the SSA takes pride in coming up with a new creation every year in the form of this Info-cell. SSA also provides parallel great platforms for emerging architects to hone their skills and improve their understanding of construction and team-work before they enter the professional world.
