For First Year B.Arch Student...

So, secured your admission in an Architecture collage?? Do want an extra edge before you get to your first lecture or just wanna stay ahead in term of "Know your Basics right"....or you are a senior student and you are left behind:-D...


STEP 1-Just go to the below link and read the following book and get all the information that you will need to zoom up in terms of basic...contains thing that your teachers may won't ever tell you ( like what stationary to buy-there are no prescription architectural tools, right?we buy what suits us efficiently ans economically,for what purpose,etc)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW DID YOU KNOW??..what are the efficient replacement of expensive stationary by some "exotic" brands like Staedtler pencil colours,Stabbilo pens..

Cost of 24 water soluble pencils -Staedtler=more than 700rs
LYRA= 295rs(available at Staples Store all over India)

Cost of single Stabillo pen-20Rs
Luxor pen-10Rs(Ditto looking and working)
ADD pens-15Rs(89shades Avb.)
T-scales by Omega are much lighter,efficient and durable than Nalanda T-scales(Discovered this only after accidentally breaking 3 T-scales in F.Y....Now i am left with 3 L-Scales by Nalanda:D Hockey khelo!!)
