At the end of the exercise, it is hoped that a student would understand the formation of spaces in design, creating linkages between spaces and having hands-on skills in modelling using appropriate materials. Nevertheless, the most important objective of the exercise is to promote the students understanding about the meaning and the importance of spaces when designing their future projects.......[Read More]
