Prof. Jaffer AA Khan - Conducts Design Crit for 3Sem B.Arch at MIDAS

Architectural Design Crit is the most toughest thing. The recent design criticism on the "School Project" for 3rd Sem B.Arch students of B.Arch at MIDAS was conducted on 17th Aug. 2012. The crit session started at 9.00 am and went on till 16.00 pm. The other design faculty/ studio incharge were present. The overall performance was satisfactory, however some the designs were excellent and far beyond that one would expect for a 2nd year student of B.Arch. It was indeed a hard crit. The followup will be on 21st Aug. 2012.
