As a student, you will learn how to design consciously with an architectural point of view, new trends in the field, drawing estimates, monetization process of projects, how to charge your clients, how to optimize your fee as a designer as per localized industry standards, how to initiate professional relationships with vendors, artisans, skilled/unskilled workmen and insightful site visits.
