Since the students were ready with their architectural proposals they were not able to understand how to design urban design guidelines to a single plot level with its surrounding context. So a lecture was organised by a practising architect & urban designer of the Nagpur city i.e. Ar. Amit Pimple to make them understand the importance of urban design interventions like edge designing at a plot level, importance of form and surrounding context in designing & planning of such projects which proved to be beneficial later.
