The exhibition was held in the lobby of Building A, Presuniv Campus at Jababeka Education Park, Cikarang, Bekasi. The Head of the Architecture Study Program, Erina Ashera, S.Ars., M.Ars., said, "At the end of each studio design lesson for Basic Architecture and Architecture, the students will always exhibit the work they created in the studio."

            Erina further explained that the Wild Wonders themed exhibition which was held Monday and Tuesday, January 15^th-16^th, was the work of class 2023 students which included assignments for mid- and final semester exams. "With the Wild Wonders theme, they have to create displays of endangered animals and a utopian island for the conservation of these animals," she said. Meanwhile, the Modern Living theme was created by students from the class of 2022 and was exhibited Wednesday and Thursday, January 17^th-18^th. Erina stated, "They had to create a modern life project that is close to their daily lives as Presuniv students. For one of the tasks, they had to redesign the student dormitories in the New Beverly Hills complex with a modern concept that contains tropical elements."

            Architecture Study Program Lecturer Selly Veronica, ST, MT, added that through the use of the two exhibition themes, the Architecture Study Program emphasises that it is important to harmonize the wonders of nature and modern life, as well as reflecting on the role of humans in maintaining a balance between natural beauty and modern life. "In today's modern life, it is very important to create a harmonious relationship between nature and the constructed environment," said Selly. She continued that the choice of theme also reflects the Architecture Study Program's determination to embrace innovation that accommodates modern needs without having to sacrifice the beauty and sustainability of nature.
