Game-play

Work hard, play harder! Let's play our way through the most important project of your architectural degree

This course is a game where each player creates an avatar in this fantasy world. In this version, you can be any architect or any other allied expert; you will choose your design skills, perspective, and technical expertise accordingly! Together, the Dungeon Master (us at Ethos) and you will create an exciting story where your bold adventures confront architectural problems to solve the mission as a team and figure your way to the final destination in college- THE GREATEST THESIS PROJECT EVER!

Thesis is a game!

There are parallels between completing your thesis and playing a game. Change your outlook towards thesis through gamification!

  • Strategy

    Unlike your previous semesters, the thesis requires you to introspect and analyse your personal interests, plus points, and strategise your game ahead. This is your passion project and you can steer the wheel in the direction best for you. The game of Dungeons N Dragons similarly requires you to self-introspect, analyse and strategise.

  • Referee

    Like any other game, the thesis also has a referee/umpire. Yes! The juror. So let's play this game to understand the referee's PoV and know how to pitch our thesis perfectly to them. Your thesis may be on-point and you may have poured all your hard work and efforts into it but the deliverance of the thesis is the game-changer.

  • Coach

    We argue with them, we follow them, we get mentored by them. They are none other than our Thesis Guides! We cannot do without them, they are there for us. Join this game of DnD and Ethos presents to you a plethora of Bonus Material in the form of recorded sessions by various experts.

What will we do in this workshop?

  • Improve your mental health and cognitive thinking

  • Develop your social-emotional skills, build confidence, understand strategic foresight, and learn to express yourselves–while working as a team

    * The program is divided into two parts. Gamifying the thesis process and one-on-one guidance once that will happen closer to your thesis date (only for those who participate as players in the game, not observers). During this workshop, we will only focus on the design process and gamify it. We WILL NOT be designing for your specific project, brief, or site, but learn to apply it for your thesis through the game.

    ** If your thesis aligns with our competitions like Transparence , AYDA etc., we will directly nominate you for the competitions. If it aligns with the goals of any of our future grants,
