Kohima, October 22 (MExN): The Association of Nagaland Architects (ANA) is all set to celebrate its 25th Year Jubilee, marking a remarkable milestone in its shared journey of architectural growth and community building in Nagaland.
It will take place on October 25 at JP Park and Banquets, Chümoukedima with Nagaland’s Chief Minister Dr. Neiphiu Rio as the chief guest.
ANA is a professional body that aims to promote, spread awareness, and bring about reformation in the practice of architecture in Nagaland.
It strives to foster professional excellence and ethical standards among its members while safeguarding their welfare and interests. ANA advocates for practices that contribute towards a resilient and sustainable built environment.
The Association had its genesis in the year 2000, when a small group of registered architects came together to share common concerns and challenges faced in their professional practice.
With a shared vision, one of the earliest initiatives of ANA was voicing the need for development controls and building bye-laws in the state.
The Association was led by Lt. Ar. Kedayhu Kent as its first president and Ar. Chenithung as vice-president.
Since then, ANA has grown to over 120 registered architect members, serving in capacities as policy makers, government employees, private practitioners, and entrepreneurs.
Under the theme “Celebrating Community, Nurturing Creativity,” this jubilee honours the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and design excellence that has guided ANA through the years.
For this special celebration, the evening session and exhibition stalls will be opened to anyone interested, featuring a wide range of construction materials, products, and technologies- all in one place.
Gates will open for the public at 2:00 PM, offering an exciting opportunity for professionals, students, and the community to explore the evolving world of architecture and design.
ANA welcomes everyone to celebrate with them “as we reflect on 25 years of creativity, connection, and commitment to shaping a better built environment for our communities.”
