THE FINAL SUBMISSION

REFLECTION

Discipline Specific Knowledge

Lifelong Learning

Intrapersonal Skill

In this project, I learned about how to draw simple plan, section and elevations of a building. This is a very important exercise as it allows us to understand every detail about a building, which is very important especially while creating a building. Not only that, this project leads to the next several projects and this amazed me of how important this project is.
