The case studies also analyzed the structural framework and vertical integration of services .The inferences drawn from both these studies are used to develop a design for the thesis proposal, which is elaborated upon in the report and the sheets. Finally this data was used to develop design methodology and approach to address the brief in a comprehensive way.
