It is structured to inspire your creativity and explode your usual notion of Architectural expressions in a way that will put you in the shoes of how it exists and how it will be experienced. The most important part is the connection of people, place and vibe that can be perceived within the six senses of human experience, which is touch (texture in material), sound (architectural rhythm), taste (aesthetics patterns and symbols), vibration (cultural vibes), visual (colour palettes) and smell (perception of identity). Our Architecture is a holistic product of our history, experience, and expectations. It is meant to evolve as we do. Looking forward to having you join this course!!
