An Investigation Of Creativity In The Practicing Field Of Architecture: A Case Study Of Seven Albuquerque Architects, Robert Jenner Philips

Architecture and Planning ETDs

One of architecture's most cherished foundations is the notion of creativity.

A Leprosy Research Center In India, Vinoobhai Baboobhai Amin

I have prepared this thesis in the hope that it will contribute some pragmatic design concepts of rehabilitation programs for lepers, concerning …
