Introduction to a graduate thesis in architecture- culmination of design program- for the undergraduate course B.Arch in India. It gives a broad outlay & fundamental understanding of the thesis program for the final year students.
Thesis Orientation for Architecture Students (B. Arch.)Rohit Raka
The presentation elaborates on as to how to select a thesis topic for the final year in architecture. It also majorly discusses on how to select a topic and steps that should be taken to make your dissertation report successful one.
The presentation lecture was made for the B. Arch final year students of J. N. E. C., Department of Architecture (2017-18), Aurangabad. I although hope that this presentation would be helpful for the students all over the world in terms of 'Selection of Topic' for their thesis.

This presentation is about urban squares in cities and towns. They acts as gathering and interaction spaces for public. They are also called as civic center, city square, urban square, market square, public square, piazza, plaza.
Landscape Design, architecture PPTs
Site planning refers to the organizational stage of the landscape design process. Site planning generally begins by assessing a potential site for development through site analysis. Information about slope, soils, hydrology, vegetation, parcel ownership, orientation, etc. are assessed and mapped.
This is a short study of how to analyse the site on which you have to design the shopping complex and hotel apartment.
This is the site study of Aurangabad, and also the study may vary as per the area or zone in which you are going to study.

Master thesis Architecture: research on Wuxi's industrial heritage (China): w...Marco Bencivenga
The thesis is a part of an on-going academic research promoted by the cooperation between Interdepartmental Research Center Urban/Eco (University Federico II of Naples, Italy) and the School of design (Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China). The thesis argues about the evolution of the historical city centre of Wuxi, hand in hand with the industrial development, to understand the conversion process and necessary strategies required to install new architectural programme within the existing industrial sites, recognizing their unique conditions. Embracing multi-scaled approach, the thesis proposes new landscape chances of uses by putting the remains of industrial cores in a network that constitutes a clustering of art, history, leisure and entertainment. Among them, more attention is given to Taibaodun area, main industrial core of Wuxi, and Maoxin site, the former industrial site of Taibaodun area.

Exploring Cultural Heritage and Value creation - A Case Study of DR’s Cultura...Miriam Lerkenfeld
Written by Tobias Golodnoff / Miriam Lerkenfeld
The objective of the research is to give a theoretical understanding of the value created when digitising a cultural heritage.
This research is grounded in a case study of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation’s Cultural Heritage Project. The project deals with the digitisation of an analogue radio and television collection of more than 500.000 hours of content, and with the work being done after digitisation ensuring archive content in collaboration with other public cultural institutions and the research community becomes available to the public. The project group is an inter-organisational team combining expertise from many places within the organisation.
When establishing a project of this kind, some aspects have significance on the value creation. Findings are, that flexibility is key, and hence, the use of resources within the budget should not be too specific, because it is unpredictable where cost can be cut, or where extra resources will be needed. Also, a scanning process is essential for defining the objectives of future tasks, and focus should not be to solve one problem, but exploring challenges that can be useful for different scenarios.
In addition, findings are that collaboration is a good tool for diffusing digitised cultural heritage, and these collaborations should have a variable, decentralised structure, in order to facilitate different needs and objectives. Another emphasis should be put on the openness towards collaboration partners, so shared value can be created and utilised - benefiting not just the organisations, but society in general. Conclusively, the overall goal when digitising the cultural heritage is always to make it accessible for the users. The conclusion leads to four principle guidelines which are: use is value, transparent boxes, open source collective, flexible frameworks, and project economy.
Finally, a vision is presented, a society where public service is substituted for public resources, constructing a all-encompassing cultural production system with fluid borders and autonomous projects based on a set of clearly defined objectives.
