thesis zone 3 finals


the school hosted the zone 3 finals of the national students thesis competition yesterday. the projects ranged from a libeskind lite tsunami memorial, an oceanarium in an unsuspecting tarkarli, an airport that happened to be in kanpur, an office building where the floors moved up and down, a temple shaped ‘indian’ skyscraper 2025 in noida, a mill lands project and an eastern waterfront project. all in all very predictable fare. i must be biased because the projects that the only projects i loved were kalpits brilliant interventions in falkland road- mutant forms to ‘decode’ everyday life; and namratas soft sensitive old age home in the inner city. unfortunately the jury agreed with me only on one of the above and kalpit had to give way for the tsunami building with its three bars representing the three stages of recovering from a disaster- shock/denial/grief. more than a little silly, i thought- but then i have been told that there are ‘issue based’ thesis and then there are ‘design based’ thesis- as if the two can be separated from each other. as if issues are not about space and as if design can exist in a space where it only references itself- as form.

I kindly request you, if you coudl help me with the same. My friend has chosen "OCEANARIUM" for her thesis.
She doing her best to get thesis done, but on my side i need to help her as much as i can.
Hence, if you could help me with few web references, your synopsis, case studies and anything that would help to complete the thesis, that could be a great help, unforgotten.

I am trying my best to get her the required as much as i can, but since i am from a different field i my hands are tied to a certain extent.

It was certainly amazing that the school hole a national thesis competition. It can certainly help a lot of them to be prepared and have taste of what thesis writing can bet. They can get thesis help here if they would like to further their studies in the future. Anyway, did the national student thesis competition are still being held yearly? I do hope so because I think it can really help a lot of student.
