SEMESTER 2

Principles of design pertaining to colour, time and motion are explored in this semester with the emphasis on scale and proportion.

The aim of this studio is to invoke how a man in space generates the sense of place. This exercise is done through the introduction of various architectural elements and then amalgamating the culture, traditions and aspirations.

SUBJECTS

INTENT

Understanding of how Man in Space becomes Place, Elements of place making such as moods, culture, traditions & aspirations.

METHODOLOGY

Workshops, Lectures, Model making, Slide shows, Library ref.

INTENT

To understand mud & stone through its various categories, compositions, and its applications as building material through direct adaptation, processing. Amalgamating and altering. The various end product materials that have evolved their various adaptations for building and the processes & specifications involved therein. To develop a grasp of what material or material product is appropriate for which context of building construction. Vernacular, Traditional and HistoricalMaterials and construction process as direct human creative responses to localEco – systems and Geo-bioclimatic responses.

METHODOLOGY

Lectures, Field trips (Material study, Construction study), Seminars, Slideshows, Market survey, Case studies, Material centric design problems and firsthand experience of brickwork.

INTENT

Man, the integral entity of nature and animal kingdom. The basic human needs and methods devised to fulfil them. Formation of human communes with broader need based purpose of security and sharing.

METHODOLOGY

Introductory talks followed by participate group discussions with studentsInitiative, AV. and short field trips.

INTENT

• Development of architectural perception of space & place.
• Experiencing total built environment.

METHODOLOGY

Lectures, Field trips, Library reference. This course is read withand is concurrent to Workshop II.
Experiencing total built environment.

INTENT

To develop a grasp of behaviour of materials and basic structural systems.

METHODOLOGY

Lectures, Presentations, Site visits etc.

INTENT

To develop an ability to perceive a form in 3 Dimensions and represent it through technical drawings. To enhance the sense of visualization and strengthen it by means of technical representation of Form & Space.

METHODOLOGY

Various exercises based on
• Understanding of surface of solid and its intersections.
• Application of understanding of perspective, light & shadow and its behaviour.

INTENT

Understanding the nature of wet media and colour through disciplined explanation by hand skills. Water / Solvent based materials for model making, artefacts and furniture.

METHODOLOGY

Through lectures, presentations and demonstration and exercises.
