A reflection of integrated multi-disciplinary course in built environment

Architectural education has been accused to focus too much on aesthetic values that only prepares graduates to be designers, rather than proficient architects. To be proficient architects, graduates are also required to gain the skill of monitoring and working collaboratively with many parties; such...
