Absolutely unputdownable and essential!
This Book is crafted for the Researchers of the subject, current students of Architecture and for those prospective students, who are eyeing Architecture as a career option.
This particular Book of the THINK BEYOND ARCHITECTURE Series, titled “HOW TO FIGHT THE FUTURE AND FIND YOUR OWN SHORTCUT TO SUCCESS IN DESIGN STUDIOS, THESIS PROJECTS AND CAREER”, is the first of its kind in this segment. Built around the concept of thinking beyond the realm of Mainstream Architecture and Traditional Architectural Education, this Book is infused with personal introspection of the Author, who takes us to a Deep Dive, into the reality of the predominant Architectural Studio Education which our students experience today, through a contemporary Architect’s perspective.
Explaining the essentials of defining one’s 'Own Shortcuts’ to achieve success, this Book dares to explore the criticality a student would need to encounter, either in the production of drawings in their Design Studios, or crafting design ideas for their Thesis Projects, or selecting the right Career path after graduation or post graduation.
This Book exhibits a uniquely engaging and emotionally involved Technical narrative, uniquely crafted by Design. The subject matter of this Book is equally important for the current as well as prospective B.Arch. as well as M.Arch. students studying in India, under the academic norms of the Indian Council of Architecture, Act 1972.
