The duo of Kyrollos Shenouda and Youssef Nassar<\/strong> collaborated for success as KYO Design<\/strong> in Designathon 2025. The two students from the Faculty of Applied Arts, Benha University, Egypt,<\/strong> secured joint third place in the international student competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success in Designation 2025 has been an uplifting experience for the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing all the hard work, late nights, and creativity come to life and to be recognized on such a big stage has been deeply rewarding. It\u2019s given us more confidence in our skills and inspired us to keep pushing boundaries, learn more, and aim even higher in future projects.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their entry was inspired by Zaha Hadid. The flowing canopy structure integrates renewable energy through roof-mounted solar panels, while providing shade and shelter throughout the year. Inside open seating and charging stations encourage collaboration, while the sculptural form blends with nature and creates a visually iconic gathering point on campus. The design balances aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability to meet the needs of students and the competition brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participating in Designation 2025 allowed Kyrollos and Youssef to sharpen their Autodesk Fusion skills. They overcame obstacles such as slow internet and limited architectural knowledge to produce a design that stands out for both its aesthetics and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury<\/strong> was keen to recognise KYO Design\u2019s efforts: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe quirky nature-inspired design captured our attention and marked this project out for recognition. The organic design utilises solar-power and encourages airflow around the space. It offers an accessible outdoor hub where students can gather to work and collaborate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Designathon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designathon 2025, organised by KnowledgePoint, was the third edition of a two\u2011day international online design challenge for teams of engineering and industrial design students. Students were offered training to boost their Autodesk Fusion modelling skills and learn about key workflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They then worked in teams of two or three to respond to a sustainable design challenge \u2013 the student teams were asked to design an accessible, aesthetically-pleasing outdoor hub where students can gather, work and charge their devices. The solution needed to use a renewable energy source (or sources) for the electrical supply. The design needed to consider durability, usability and impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key aim of the Designathon is to boost student employability, a point recognised by team KYO Design: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWinning the third place makes us more confident to share designs and also it was great added to our portfolio.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year teams of students from 140 educational institutions took part. 178 projects\u200b were submitted, involving 446 participants\u200b in 17 countries. Entries were of a very high standard, making the selection of winners very difficult for the jury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
