Terraced Landscape: A School Building Design in Virginia Tech
This thesis is an exploration of the fusion of building and landscape. Along with the development of modern design education, architecture design has been subdivided into several specific branches which actually cause harm to the whole design process and education in turn. In this thesis, I try to …
