Detailed Description – 

On 15th April 2025, the School of Design at Galgotias University hosted an engaging and informative Expert Talk on the theme “Sustainable Facades for a Better Future.” The event featured Mr. Manjeet Singh Tanwar, the Business Head at Aludecor, as the distinguished speaker. With over two decades of experience in the building materials industry, Mr. Tanwar brought a wealth of knowledge and practical insights to the session.

The talk focused on the rising importance of sustainable façade systems in contemporary architecture, especially in the context of climate change, urbanization, and increasing environmental concerns. Mr. Tanwar explained how facades, when designed thoughtfully, not only improve a building’s energy performance and thermal comfort but also help in reducing the urban heat island effect, thus contributing to a more sustainable built environment.

Highlighting real-world applications and innovative technologies, Mr. Tanwar introduced students to the advanced façade materials and solutions developed by Aludecor. He emphasized how these materials align with global sustainability goals by promoting eco-conscious design, durability, and aesthetic versatility in architecture.

The session provided students with a deeper understanding of how design and material innovation can shape a resilient and sustainable future, and encouraged them to think critically about their role as future architects in creating environmentally responsible designs.

The event concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where students enthusiastically engaged with the speaker, discussing challenges and opportunities in sustainable architecture. Overall, the talk served as a meaningful platform for bridging the gap between academic learning and industry practices.

Event Outcome – 

The event taught students about sustainable design, particularly facade design. They examined how novel facade technologies improve energy efficiency and green urban development. Students conceptualised artistic expression and functional architectural strategies through interactive and creative activities. Aludecor facade technology and other modern materials were also discussed in the session to promote sustainable and future-ready construction. A game-based activity increased their knowledge of design's psychological impact and encouraged user-centric thinking. Direct interaction with an industry expert connected academics and professional practice, giving students insights into current industry trends and pushing them to pursue sustainable innovation in their careers.
