Explore materials, explore ideas, explore visual possibilities and provide our own individual design briefs for the project we worked on. By the end of the semester every student had a different germ to extract from his/her project. Of course, only 17 of the 40 students managed to pass the studio but ill discuss as to why that happened some other time. <br><br> This semester we have three teachers who are completely "Indian" in their approach.

College of Architecture...<br><br> The reason behind this is that our college has gained an independent status. Were no longer under the rule of RVCE. But the RSST. Renovations in our department are in its final stages. <br><br> The new batch of students that came in are going through their first week of orientation are really really annoying.<br><br> Our faculty turned out to be even better than we expected this semester. <br><br> The class commenced with a huge debate on churches and why Botta's is better than Meier's... and that began our semester. <br><br> Right now im making arrangements for the IGBC congress.<br><br> Will keep you updated as to how that goes.<br><br> See ya later.<br><br></p> http://archinect.com/blog/article/21452385/dilbert-tickle Whino... 2009-08-18T11:06:20-04:00 >2011-11-24T09:05:52-05:00 <p>k i stole this from my friends facebook photo album... i guess i should have asked him... sorry Shravan... :P<br><br> k anyway enjoy...<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://files.archinect.com/uploads/ai/aiu_dilbert1.jpg" alt="image" name="image"></p> http://archinect.com/blog/article/21453158/the-indian-green-building-congress Whino... 2009-08-08T02:46:06-04:00 >2011-11-24T09:05:52-05:00 <p>Well its that time of the year again when the IGBC brings the best in the business together from all over India to discuss the green movement thats taking over the world.<br><br> Ar.
