That this experience is a design review action has been explained with the help of various accounts.  Two different applications have been sampled in this study in two different design areas selected from Piet Montrian’s works, and discussions are going on in connection with gains.  One of the design fields is landscape architecture, and the other is architecture. The selected student works are evaluated in terms of design problems and results
