Looking at today’s scenario, teaching and learning services- related matters to students have become extremely important. It is necessary for this subject to be taught and learnt properly, and incorporated in a structure. We cannot just have a structure without lights, electricity, HVAC, without water supply, without a drainage system. Can we live in a situation where we still have to struggle for water storage in our house? Can we live with open drainage trails running around our house? Nowadays it is impossible to live without the internet and electricity in houses or offices. Therefore, it is essential that we also focus on these fundamental issues as much, or more than the design and external façade or elevational treatment of the building.
