Dear, my name is Federica Renzi, a student of the Faculty of Architecture “Aldo Rossi” in Cesena, Italy.
I’m starting my graduation thesis on Delhi, and in particular the
archaeological area of Mehrauli, followed by Professor Stefania Rossl.
Could you possibly recommend me some materials can I refer to for my
studies? Do you have a dwg file?
Thank you for your willingness
Kind Regards
