In this project 2, the site is a fun site to play with like the views, vegetation, texture, smell etc. which is interesting as also first time designing a large structure which consist of exhibition space, contemplation space, cafe, Souvenir booth and so on. Its a interesting process to have the first ever physical class for the entire semester and having physical presentation with external accessor. Also the first semester we can use computer to do our things like 3d modeling and prepare presentation board through photoshop and so on.
