Elif,
I hope I understand your question, here’s goes. When I present a project to a client I bring pictures of plants and I try and draw quick perspesctives or elevations of the job. A lot of people can not visualize a plan view into a real life project. They have not had the training we have and don’t look at plans as we do. When I go to their…[Read more]

I have a question!

Dr. Hamdi, welcome.
One of waheeb’s cgs is already on my folio. I asked him yesterday to convert some into jpg format and reduce res. I also aske Bogus for the same thing and to spread the thought among his classmates

Thank you for this great initiative. What about posting some of the students graduation projects; for example Waheeb’s.
Good luck.
