​

Just Give Me Some Space is a non-fictional tell-all that paints a portrait of the dynamic life of an architecture student. With light-hearted anecdote and playful illustrations, it treads across the five-year course of an undergrad. Traversing the journey from the admissions process, working through the highs and lows of the degree to finally surmounting the final thesis year. The book nudges you to quit whining and start designing, brazenly allowing the course to shape you into a well-rounded wayfarer. It leads to at least a pursuit, if not a declaration of self-actualisation for all the readers.
