Hey!

Hope all of you are hard at work for the second round......

Zonasa for zone four has shifted to 1st-3rd October,2009 hence the date for the submission is getting pushed........

Here are answers to some frequently encountered queries---

1. Last date for submission in 15th September, 2009

2. We require both a) softcopy by mail and b) Sheets by courier

3. Please bear in mind postal delays, last minute internet failures etc while sending over your entries. Select courier companies that can be traced online for your ease as well as ours.

4. As mentioned in the brief, winners are required to be present for the seminar at BIT during zonasa. It will be held on the second day i.e 2nd October. So, it will be a good idea to chalk out your travel plans and book tickets in advance given the Durga Puja rush at that time. The travel expense will be borne by you whereas food and accomodation for two days will be taken care by us.

While working on the final submission it please be mindful of some jury comments--

1. Always quote your sources...magazines, books, architects etc

2. Give personal interpretations, ideas and experiences. It makes the work more interesting.

3. Translation means your interpretation and execution of the study conducted.

4. Link between your previous studies (first round) and execution should be visible and logical.

Best of luck!!!
