School of architecture now a days suffer to meet the transforming architectural practice, more over students are not educated to meet the market demand. The gap between the architectural education and the architectural practice is increasing each day due to the rapid change in technologies and market demand, more over architectural school still has traditional design studio, where students do not practice architecture. This paper aims to prove that linking the architectural education with real projects during the undergrad time, improves the students architectural practices after graduating describing an innovative and very successful final year project course that has been provided several architectural schools.
