One of my friend told me students documented the buildings and learning from Live Case Examples during experiential learning week. Students paying the regular site visits and gaining their knowledge on the latest construction techniques and implement into their design projects. Students are taken to educational tours to complement in-class learning. Emphasis on case studies and Case-based teaching to develop skills in analytical thinking and reflective judgment by reading and discussing complex, real-life scenarios. World Renowned Architect B.

The cognitive skills, visual perception and aesthetic sensitivity tests, logical reasoning and critical thinking ability, etc. Are measured to SEE whether the applicant is fit for the job or not. There are many universities that offer B.Arch but I would share the details of the course from LPU.
