examples of farmhouses on contour lands. These case studies ranged from small-scale
projects to larger, more intricate designs. The inclusion of real-world examples allowed
students to visualize and comprehend the application of design principles.
4. Site Visit and Analysis: To enhance the practical understanding of the lecture, Ar.
Kulkarni organized a virtual site visit, providing students with the opportunity to analyze
a contour land and identify potential design challenges and opportunities. This hands-
on approach facilitated a deeper understanding of the theoretical concepts discussed.
5. Interactive Design Workshop: The guest speaker conducted an interactive design
workshop where students were encouraged to apply the principles learned to create
preliminary designs for farmhouses on contour lands. This collaborative exercise
fostered creativity and allowed students to receive immediate feedback from Ar.
