During the study tour, students measured land plots, surveyed existing building conditions, and studied the site context. These activities helped them collect important data for their residential interior design projects. They also practiced redrawing floor plans and sections onsite, which allowed them to check dimensions immediately and understand spatial logic more clearly.
