The Elephant Gate for the Institution of Engineers (India – Aurangabad Chapter) - Designed by Architect Pranav Shankar (Ex. Student, MGM’s JNEC, Department of Architecture - Batch of 2019) The Institution of Engineers (IER - India – Aurangabad Chapter), a reputed national association having one of its centers in Aurangabad, planned to demolish their existing entrance gate structure and create a new, more iconic one in 2017. This project was given to the students of MGM’s JNEC (Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College) in the form of a Design Competition , with a view to encourage the students as well as give them a platform to showcase their design abilities in the best possible manner and to obtain a creative and logical design for the gate structure. Out of four finalists, Ar. Pranav Shankar’s design was selected as the best, most appropriate, and aesthetic prototype. Ar. Pranav Shankar’s concept of creating the gate went through hours of research and studying the requirements of the members and the institution for which the gate was to be made. Through his design, he wanted to showcase the life of an engineer whose creations always end up in working outputs. The 'Live' aspect was what he wanted to depict. However, he also wanted to give due respect to the age-old heritage structures which form the basis of the city, namely, Ajanta and Ellora caves which are the greatest engineering feats performed by ancient architects who were well versed and had maximum knowledge of engineering, mathematics, and all other related fields. The form of the gate is inspired from the entrances to the Ajanta Caves which are simple structures with curving barrel vaults at the top supported by strong massive and intricately carved pillars in stone. Thus, the gate structure represents this symbolism in a more modern, technological way but paying homage to the ancient structures. The modern engineering marvel 'Space-frame' has been utilized in the design, the sciography i.e., shadows cast by the Space-frame throughout the day as the sun moves by, make up the - Live aspect of the design. The barrel shape has been evolved by the creation of a curved concrete cantilever slab – One of the largest in the city. The link between the slab and Space-frame symbolically represents the joining of two hands or the 'Namaste' gesture which relates to the traditional culture of welcoming a person which is the basic purpose of any iconic entranceway structure. The design also incorporates a tall freestanding column which is a representation of the ‘Dhwajastambha’ at the Entrance to the Kailash Temple at Ellora which acts as a label to the structure indicating the place to which the entrance belongs, along with the logo of the institution. The Elephant is considered as a symbol of power and strength across various cultures. It has been of great use in creation of the greatest Mega-structures from time immemorial. Thus, we can see an elephant in Ellora too, in every carving, where the architects of those times have paid their respects to the Elephant in every possible way. Similarly, Ar. Pranav Shankar has tried to bring the elephant into the design, but in a more silent yet symbolic way, where the pillars act as four legs and the curved freestanding mass acts as the trunk of the elephant. Further, Ar. Pranav Shankar has also made way for landscaping which proves that nothing is complete without mother nature's intervention. The lighting scheme for the night-time has also been designed by the Architect, keeping in mind the colors of the logo of the Institution of Engineers and their importance.

The Institution of Engineers -aurangabad chapter The Institution of Engineers (India) is the national organization of engineers in India. The Institution of Engineers (India) has more than one million members in 15 engineering disciplines in 125 centers or chapters in India and overseas; it is the world's largest multi-disciplinary engineering professional society in engineering and technology world. The Institution of Engineers (India) was established in 1920 in Kolkata, West Bengal and is acclaimed to have pioneered non-formal education in engineering. The Institution of Engineers (India) conducts an examination of its associate membership. This examination is considered to be on par with B.E. / B.Tech. When contemplated as an eligibility qualification to write competitive examinations like the Indian Civil Service, Indian Engineering Services, GATE, etc., and for employment in Government, public and private sectors in India. This qualification is recognized by the Ministry of HRD, government of India, as equivalent to B.E./B.Tech. The Institution of Engineers (India) was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1935. It is currently headquartered in 8 Gokhale Road, Kolkata.

It is located near government college of engineering Aurangabad. You need to 560 Rupees as a student to become member of it. It has library and other other facilities. It is one of the branches in India.
