Well, it’s that time of year again.
October 5, 6, and 7, 2007, have been
chosen as the dates to hold the 10th
Annual ASA Exhibition by the
Association of Students of
Architecture, Pulchowk Campus. As
usual, office bearers and members of
the organizing committee have
started doing the rounds to find
understanding sponsors while
concerned students, particularly
those who want to take the occasion
as an opportunity to showcase their
talents, obviously have started to
put finishing touches to their show
pieces. This year, the event holds
promise to be more interesting than
the previous ones. One of the major
highlights will be a series of
events based on historical research |
