    General Outline to be followed:


    I. Introduction Devote a page or two describing how you as a researcher have arrived in choosing a good Design Focus II. Discussion of the Design Focus Discuss its origin, various applications, case study of a building using the same design focus, other issues which you think are essential to understand the design focus better III.
