Zero Degree 2026 | Orientation Programme
The new batch of B.Arch and B.Des students at CAT were welcomed through Zero Degree 2026, introducing them to the campus, institutional culture and collaborative spirit of design education.
The programme began with an introductory session to parents and students alike on Day 1. This was followed by campus exploration and team building activities that fostered teamwork, leadership, communication and creative problem-solving.
A five-day hands-on workshop centred around the students divided into CMYK teams engaging in welding, painting, bonding and assembling to transform ideas into tangible installations and large scale paintings on these themes.
🔵 CYAN- HORROR
“Something is watching you."
đź©· MAGENTA - ROMANCE
“They almost met.”
🟡 YELLOW - ACTION
“ Escape.“
âš« BLACK - NOIR
“Something is missing.”
Through making and experimentation, students learned to take ownership, embrace new perspectives and work collectively beyond familiar boundaries.
Zero Degree 2026 marked the beginning of an academic journey focused on curiosity, collaboration and creativity.
