Every week students will make presentation of own scheme at the time, and will be checked by tutor face to face, in order to learn how to develop the scheme from early stage to final stage, while learning the each skill necessary to make study-drawings, to study-models, to percept the detail and the whole of the space, to adjust the inter and outside requirement, and so on.
