NASA - National Association of Students of Architecture

The National Association of Students of Architecture,(referred as NASA on this site) constitutes of over 95% of the architecture students across 120 colleges in the country as members of this organization. NASA is a national level student association and one of the largest of its kind in Asia it holds great significance, being the only one of its kind in the world. The immense manpower and resources at hand should be put to use in such a manner that benefit both the members of NASA and also society on the whole.

As of today NASA integrates only an annual and zonal convention in its framework. Over 100 colleges work for months at a stretch for the 5 trophies. There is a tremendous need for suggestions for disaster struck areas, rural centers where one can't afford architects. There is a supply of relevant data and designs in NASA and the demand for it exists, the link to complete this cycle of supply and demand is aimed at. As NASA compleeted its Golden Jubilee year, it is an ideal time to retrospect the role NASA plays in the current professional and social scenario. With this background, in mind this is the ideal time to consider the direction NASA is going to take in the future.

Being a student organization the main objective of NASA is to increase cross college interaction. It would be ideal to have students of different college's team up to work during workshops and seminars to enhance the interaction between students.

The annual convention and the zonal conventions being the major activities bring together whole of the architectural student and professional community of India. NASA aims to conserve the Architectural Heritage of India throught the LIK trophy, also tries to provide architectural solutions to social problems through the HUDCO trophy and much more.
