It will suggest there has always been an immediate need to introduce real-world client interaction in architectural education, and that with the advent of digital technologies, the possibility of fulfilling this need now is much easier than ever before.

About the researcher
Before moving to Glasgow in 2014, the researcher was practicing as an architect in India, where he completed many industrial and residential buildings. Besides having teaching experience in architecture schools, he has also worked on a variety of commercial and aesthetic art commissions; ranging from exhibition stand, packaging designs including brochure & logo designs to artworks, such as installations, sculptures, and murals. In 2009, he developed a self-sustaining farm, close to New Delhi, with an intention of imparting hands-on-experience to architecture students by using waste materials from his building sites. Apart from farm animals, such as cows, goats, emus, ducks and dogs; the farm featured organic farming, environmental practices and use of traditional skills. His venture also gained media attention and attracted many local schools, who would often bring young pupils in organised groups for picnics.
