BSSA EDITORIAL Dear Readers, We are pleased to inform you that the BSSA student council has positioned a new editorial team for the year 2017-2018. We believe that presenting a continuous documentation of our college work is essential. Moreover, our aim is to generate curiosity and inquisitiveness amidst our community. It is our goal to provide our students a platform where they can engage in discussions, obsess over ideas and develop a certain synthesis with the help of each others’ work. It is with this ambition that we launch out 'Pilot' edition of students’ work - a brief compilation of works from within our college community. It is our profound belief that this interaction shall help us develop apprehension towards creations within our college. With support from everyone, we wish to channel content by creating a subset of our student newsletter that specifically deals with presenting student work from within the college. We wish to make this a monthly practice. Kindly encourage us in our endeavor. Participation is encouraged. Criticism and feedbacks are as welcomed. Enjoy reading! Parshav Sheth [Editor]

It also creates maximum connection between the houses and also leaves the space for internal courtyards. The asymmetrical layout of the houses optimises the light entry under skewed conditions.
