preface:
The following collection of my work is an attempt to make the reader understand my evolution as an architect through my academic and professional career. An attempt has been made to reflect my design concepts, Ideologies and skills used to complete the work. I believe that an architect never stops learning & I hope to progressively build on this collection throughout my career.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE
-a centre of training for useful employment THESIS QUESTION-WHY A VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE IS REQUIRED? Vocational education and training is an important element of the nation’s education initiative. In order for vocational education to play its part effectively, there is a requirement to redefine the critical elements of imparting vocational education and training to make them flexible, contemporary, relevant, inclusive and creative. Vocational education basically teaches you how to earn a living. In today’s economy vocational jobs are becoming more and more important. Vocational training provides career and technical education to the interested students.
WHAT IS A VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE? A vocational training centre is a place where a person is trained so that he/she acquires practical or applied skills. It is that aspect of training which is designed to develop skills, abilities, understanding attitudes, work habits and appreciations, encompassing knowledge and info needed by workers to enter and make progress in employment on useful and productive basis.
PROPOSAL:The design of the proposed centre for the vocational education sets out to provide an environment for learners and educators which is positive , inspiring and conducive to learning. This achieved by providing a facility which is informal, yet provides all the facilities required by the centre users in order to best facilitate the achievement of teaching and learning goals. By considering the special needs of a learner, it has been established that the most effective learning environment are those which are flexible, comfortable and informal. The free flowing spaces allow both learners and educators, to make use of the facilities unrestricted and thereby establish an equitable relationship between the two parties, thereby enhancing the teaching and learning experience by reducing the discomfort brought about by imposing institutional environments.
