The C.A.R.E. School of Architecture had joined hands with Bezalel Academy to bring innovative methods of learning architecture.

Twenty six third-year architecture students, 15 from Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem, and 11 from the C.A.R.E. School of Architecture have teamed up to design and build a farmers mart at the Saraswati Krishi Vigyan Kendra at Puzhutheri in Karur district.

Split into six groups, they constructed six structures each measuring 15 square metres to function as gathering spaces for farmers who come to the KVK to display their produce and share their experience with other farmers.
