And the exhibition space itself became the splendid space to see and move on. The live caricatcher drawing by the students was the most attention-grabbing part of the exhibition.
The focus part of the day was the publication ceremony of the department’s first ever publication “OKKHO” by the 11 batch which was dedicated to the meritorious student Muhiminul Islam Siyam, a 5th year active member of the Architecture family whom the department lost due to a road accident early in March, 2016.

The day was closed with traditional musical night “Baul shandha” by folk artist from Kustia that made the night more magical one as CUET is surrounded by natural beauty.
The second day of the festival marked with color fest, surprising flash mob and the most awaiting moment of the program the cultural night which started with memorizing the pioneer Architects and the closest member of Architecture department whom they had to say good bye with a heavy heart. The variations in the performances, the use of graphical representation made the viewers speechless.
