HP has announced the winners of Skyline 2020, an online national design contest initiated by HP. The National Award was won by Anto Gloren and Sayali Athale from Pune. Sayali is a final year student at Marathwada Mitramandal's College of Architecture, Pune, who is currently interning at the INTACH office in Pondicherry. Gloren Anto graduated from Marathwada Mitramandal's College of Architecture last year and is now working on various industrial and office projects in collaboration with two other architects. Both of them together received an HP Designjet Large Format Printer and an HP Workstation for their winning entry.
Speaking on architecture trends and HP's involvement, Guayente Sanmartin, Director - Designjet Business, HP Asia Pacific & Japan, said, "Design and Architecture segment is burgeoning especially in India and this is majorly due to the construction boom which creates assets worth over Rs.20,000 crore every year. HP Designjet's engagement with the architecture and design community allows it to take a leadership role in defining the technical tools and resources that this community needs. Also, by engaging these students early in their careers, it allows us to place HP solutions in their hands when they are still learning, thus helping us to better understand their needs which will help us to continue being the most preferred digital printing solutions provider."
HP provided a platform for students in the field of architecture to showcase their innovative ideas and designs and serve as an inspiration to others in similar fields that they too can achieve similar feats of excellence. HP initiated the thought of supporting the young creative minds to experiment with the technology available and explore the new ways of designing beyond the limits though SKYLINE 2020.
