Hi,
I’m architecture 9th sem student. We are supposed to give our synopsis so can u elaborate me further
about the topic aqua marine park. The factors considered for choosing the site and will it be a big project
or I can work in details in time. Please help.
#25 by BenzuJK on July 19, 2016 4:02 pm
Hello Shashi,
This will be an interesting design topic but the casestudies would be difficult because i dont think we
have good marine parks in India. If you are willing to go to Dubai for a casestudy then I am sure this
would be a fantastic project.
Good luck!
