Part 2 What I’ve learned from others During these 6 weeks I learned so much from everyone…

Inspiration Creativity Concepts Simplicity Composition Planning

Each one in it’s unique way taught me so much...

It is hard to choose a few as all were wonderful…

Here are some of them ….

Part 3 My Architectural Space “Architecture starts when you put two bricks together. There it begins.”

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe This was a tough journey for me as I had no architectural background. But with the help of my teachers and peers I became more aware of things around me.

Each day I learnt new concepts and things. The biggest thing I learnt was to keep things simple which I have tried to follow in this booklet ( Hope I have succeeded) I learnt to carry on against all odds, taking each day at a time.

I got so many ideas & inspiration from people all over the world .

With dedication & patience any task can be completed against all odds.

I found my architectural space in my paintings by increasing my creativity & home by creating more empty spaces…

Thanks to all the cells and my peers for making this a wonderful journey‌
