"The aim of the (Switch International Design) competition was to offer a chance to participants to recreate the iconic (Solomon R. Guggenheim) Museum (in New York)... with an entirely fresh perspective.” A design prepared by Prof Percy Pithawala of the School of Environmental Design and Architecture, Navrachana University, Baroda, and his team won the first place. The results were announced on September 25, 2018. Speaking to Parsiana on November 27, Pithawala acknowledged the support of teaching assistant Dhruv Shah and other students.
