Dear Friends,
This is Faizan Jawed from Rizvi College of Architecture, Mumbai. I am a
final year student who has just completed final year Design Dissertation. I
am the winner of the RIBA Norman Foster Traveling Scholarship 2008. My
research topic is "Role of Public Transport in shaping Sustainable Humane
Habitats". Please visit:

to
read in detail about the scholarship.
I will be traveling to Delhi, Moscow, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Amsterdam,
London, Barcelona, Bogota, Curitiba, Santiago and Hong Kong over a period of
almost three and a half months. My proposal submission can be accessed at
http://www.youshare.com/phaizan/27b2fb2ee7c9fafe.jpg.html - it is in JPEG
format. Though it is relatively low-resolution, the text and pictures in it
can be easily read by zooming in. These days I am busy formulating a
research methodology, planning the travel, getting visas, and so on.
My travel dates are:
Moscow : June 27 - July 03
Helsinki : July 03 - July 08
Copenhagen : July 08 - July 20
Amsterdam : July 20 - July 31
London : Aug - 01 - Aug 11
Barcelona : Aug 11 - Aug 23
Bogota : Aug 23 - Sept 03
Curitiba : Sept 06 - Sept 18
Santiago : Sept 19 - Oct 03
Hong Kong : Oct 04 - Oct 09
I am currently in Delhi for my visa work, and also to begin the Delhi part
of research. I am here for another week at least.
It would be really helpful to hear comments, be advised about research
method, directed to resource persons/students/organizations in the cities
that I am travelling to. Any and everything.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Faizan.
