PREFACE
The Professional Training undertaken during the Bachelor of Architecture course is an
essential component that bridges academic knowledge and professional practice. It provides
an opportunity for students to gain first-hand experience in architectural practice, explore
diverse projects, and understand the workflow of architectural offices.
I had the privilege to undertake my professional training at Unbound Studio, Nashik, for a
period of six months (01/01/2025 – 30/06/2025). During this period, I was exposed to
various stages of architectural practice including conceptualization, design development,
client coordination, working drawings, and site visits.
The training period allowed me to gain practical knowledge and confidence in handling
architectural projects, and it enhanced my ability to work in a professional studio
environment. The following report documents the details of the projects I was involved in,
along with the skills and learnings acquired during the internship.
