आपदा-काल में भास का सहारा

Bookmark: New Age Theories for Architectural Practice by Prof. Sagar Desai

Preface by the Author
It gives me great pleasure to introduce this book for Architecture students studying Professional Practice. Often, I have observed that the professor in the class keeps talking about contracts although he may be explaining it very well but the students does not seem to understand.
