Think Big - English for Architects with Tara Cull
by Tara CullThink Big is for anyone working in or interested in architecture and its various disciplines who want to take their English language skills to the next level. Built design disciplines transcend many disciplines, so to think like an architect, we need to explore the intersections. Think Big is so much more than just learning the technical teems or the names of houses, buildings or landscapes. We explore all the topics related to architecture, communication and culture to help you improve your English at the same time.
