    The document compares the site, design, organization of spaces, and standards between the Dayananda Sagar School of Architecture and R.V. College of Architecture. The R.V. College is designed specifically for an architecture program based on the context of its sloped site, with separated and well-lit studio and classroom spaces organized around landscaped courtyards. In contrast, the Dayananda Sagar school is housed in a building not designed for architecture on a leveled but formerly sloped site, with dimly lit learning spaces branching directly off the main corridor.
