Studio culture is generated partially by a student culture that encompasses interaction, which affect learning experiences. This study explores the meaning students make their learning experiences in the design studio, which are affected by interaction. A studio is a workspace where students explore a set of skills with or without the presence of an instructor. The instructor works with students during the designated class time and then students continue to work on their own to develop their core subject and the key activity of Architecture Education. Therefore, the Design studio is the most important piece in the set of subjects. It is the essential activity offering the main chance for the future architect to become a good designer To lay the foundation and to help accomplish the task of understanding the architectural design studio and student perceptions, the culture of architectural education and the architectural design studio culture need to be defined and described and a body of literature on learning needs to be understood, specifically focusing on how students learn and experience learning in learning environment. The participants in the design studio found that their learning experiences through interrelations, perceived their learning experiences through transitions, and also described the experiential outcomes of their learning experiences. How students interact with one another, both academically and socially, is an example of a theme that can be categorized under interrelations. An example of a transition, which is moving from one perception to another, is moving from a perception of confusion to clarity. Interrelations, transitions, and experiential outcomes are, therefore, the domains that overarch the categories and themes that emerge from the data.

Moreover, the use of computer aided design (CAD) programmes is well established in architecture education. However, Students in architecture schools worldwide have the problem of understanding and visualization architectural space..One reason is the limitation of the “traditional graphic media” that is used in the representation and manipulation of spaces during the design procedure. Traditional graphics on represent two dimentional and three dimensional, while virtual reality is introduced to overcome and solve problem encompassed with the students’ perception and visualization of their architecture design ideas.
Architectural design is the most important module of any architectural school; it is the main key behind building any successful architect nowadays. The role of architectural design education is to help the architectural student to acquire and develop the creative architectural skills that allows him/her to design a successful building and to evaluate it from the end user’s perspective.
Virtual reality (VR) is an amalgam space, where interfere between pictures, texts, and computational instructions frequently happen. Virtual reality can be described as a multisensory controlled communication technology that permits additional instinctive interfaces with data that allows involvement of human senses It is based on a concept that describes VR according to the human experience and not the technology itself which is the concept of presence. Presence is the sense of psychological perception of being presented inside a virtual environment. The presence authorises and lets the person experiencing the space to operate and observe in a distinct environment by means of allowing the person to react by all his/her senses and becomes fully immersed in a manmade designed space.

Supplies have decreased due to the drying up of streams, the decline of groundwater levels, because of over pumping , contamination of water resources and increase in drought as well as flood caused by climate changes. Water is necessary to support all biological life, natural processes, communities, the economy, the society and the future generations. The paper provides an overview on the unsustainable current water consumption practices that must be altered. To meet the demand for water supply in future, communities need to work to conserve and re allocate existing water resources. Residents' conservation of water should be encouraged. The planning, management, regulatory, and enforcement powers of communities should be used " to secure public water supplies from the threats of scarcity and long term unsustainability, whether from over consumption, waste, drought, flood damage, degradation and pollution. The paper aims to encourage use of sustainable design philosophy with the use of Water-efficient practices improved technologies that deliver equal or better service using less water. Therefore paper attempt to seek knowledge about Water Efficient Building Strategy are as Reduce, Replace, and Reuse and effectively implementing the 3Rs in sustainable design can result in substantial savings in water so reducing the environmental impact of both water discharge and the need to pump water over long distances. Besides meeting the mandatory requirements, building owners, architects, professional engineers and licensed water service plumbers should incorporate water efficiency planning in the early stages of building development for a variety of reasons: a. Facilities tend to be oversized at the expense of water efficiency. Many building or system design synergies can yield substantial cost and efficiency improvements but these must be done early in the design process before system choices are locked in. b. It is far less expensive to introduce water efficiency measures during the design stage than to undertake retrofitting measures later. Retrofits are more difficult, expensive and intrusive to building operations.

Energy from sun is used by plants to make food. Plant food is needed to sustain life by providing nourishment for our bodies and muscles. The sun's energy is also stored in coal, wood and oil, used to produce food and modify matter. All of the achievements of mankind were sustained through the use of energy. This is the time when human started utilizing fossil fuel to create cities that dwarf the ancient wonders and operate machines that do the work of hundreds of humans in a fraction of the time. My study will show that how Development in Energy Technologies based on earth fossil fuels allow an exponential increase in the populations and the standards of living in industrializing states.

The Industrial Revolution was a one of the pivoting points in human history and cultural. Idea of a professional architect with formal training and academic qualifications is a product of the 19th century, when architectural courses were instituted for the first time at the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later at the Architectural Association in London in 1847. Developing academic qualification result in new trends of architectural theory that differentiate between a building and "a piece of architecture", which was about aesthetics and experience of architecture movement and impact of philosophical and intellectual basis for architecture education.
The ever growing socio, economic and political interest among the intellectuals at the turn of the 19th century and the ever growing number of artists and architect embracing had resulted in new architectural trends away from wealthy clients. These trends were introducing an architecture that was meant to address working class and develop economical architecture that copes with them. These movements included: Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and the Bauhaus
In the United States of America, the Bauhaus principles revolutionized art education, previously dominated by the Beaux-Arts method. Bauhaus influence in education and in practice, the modernist movement flourished. The Bauhaus movement became responsible for the modern face of architecture in many of the American cities such as Chicago and New York. Chicago has been described as "row upon row of Mies van der Rohe buildings“
By means of discussing the development of the different philosophical schools and relating them to different architectural movements and the architects who embraced these philosophical ideas and how these ideas influenced their works. It will be proven that almost each architectural movement and each development in architectural thinking had been a result of some philosophical development. The unbroken relationship of the simultaneous development of both architecture movement and architecture education will be explored.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of Energy study is to share that all life on earth depends upon energy. Energy from sun is used by plants to make food. Plant food is needed to sustain life by providing nourishment for our bodies and muscles. The sun's energy is also stored in coal, wood and oil, used to produce food and modify matter. All of the achievements of mankind were sustained through the use of energy. This is the time when human started utilizing fossil fuel to create cities that dwarf the ancient wonders and operate machines that do the work of hundreds of humans in a fraction of the time.
My study will show that how Development in Energy Technologies based on earth fossil fuels allow an exponential increase in the populations and the standards of living in industrializing states. This economic realignment had multiple effects, many of are still with us today: environmental degradation as greenhouse effect, global warming, and limited fossil fuel left.
My aim is to analyze knowledge system in Development of Energy Technologies from First Industrial Revolution till today. To understand Development of Energy Technologies, the events that occurred in past and continued till today are studied. Linkage between Research & development in energy technologies, energy generation through fossils and natural resources as well as their impact on environment and contribution to society is explored. Policies and Legislations developed in order to obtain green clean environment, to protect our natural resources and to manage equal distribution of resources and to avoid electricity black outs and brown outs.

Energy Generation had significant impact on natural environment like Detroit air quality, global warming and greenhouse effect.
Research and Idea’s need to be explored for sustainable future.
Shifting to renewable energy.
 Building block must transform into micro–power plants to collect renewable energies on-site to serve as both “power plants” and share to grid.
 Deploying hydrogen and storage technologies to store intermittent energies
 Conversion of intermittent supplies of renewal energy sources into reliable assets like batteries, other media. Hydrogen is the universal medium that “stores” all forms of renewable energy.
 Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe and when used as an energy source, the only by-products are pure water and heat. our spaceships have been powered by high-tech hydrogen fuel cells for more than 30 years.
 Smart technologies that made possible the internet, and vast “distributed” global communication networks, we have to reconfigure our world’s power grids so that people can produce renewable energy share and work as energy internet.
 Transitioning the transport fleet to electric plug-in and fuel cell vehicles that can buy and sell green electricity on a smart, continental, interactive power grid.
 Energy Grids were planned 100 years back which are not able to fulfill today’s need of utilities with low reliability of power, outages, and aging grid, which is need to be upgraded need to be replace by Smart Grid.
 SCADA system investigates the fault and monitors the lack of voltage and current, which contribute blackouts and brownouts.
 Researches focusing on 3E’s are as ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY.
 Further Researches need to be done-
Algae are the future of clean, inexpensive fuel.
 Once the algae is fully grown, it is harvested using Origin Oil’s Algae Appliance and processed into biomass that has nearly the same energy potential as coal and is used to run the energy’s systems.
 Max. Solid waste utilizes to generate electricity.
 Amount of energy in lightning strike can illuminate the city like Delhi; research must be done to store energy of lightning strike.
Need to develop Piezoelectricity.
 The process whereby the piezoelectric effect takes place is based on the fundamental structure of a crystal lattice.
 Crystals generally have a charge balance where negative and positive charges precisely nullify each other out along the rigid planes of the crystal lattice.
 When this charge balance is disrupted by an external force, such as, applying physical stress to a crystal, the energy is transferred by electric charge carriers, creating a surface charge density, which can be collected via electrodes.
 Such energy can be stored in capacitors and power can be channeled to energy deficient regions.
