SEMESTER 4

To understand and develop the vocabulary for discussing an architectural design idea. To inculcate information processing and research methods while exploring the element through a process of pattern making and tessellation.

The semester involves in dealing with various activities of shared elements and developing clarity of details and architectural expression in functional as well as acoustical elements. Then manifesting the idea in the developing of community.

SUBJECTS

INTENT

Man and Land interactive processes to given locational Eco-cultural context. To develop a grasp on handling various activities with shared elements. Inter-relations of individual within a group/family. Developing clarity of details & architectural expression in functional and acoustical elements. Emphasis shall be laid on the clarity of details and architectural expression in functional and constructional elements.

METHODOLOGY

This shall be a group exercise with each member handling a different aspect or a different portion of the total problem.

INTENT

Advances in the usage of ferrous and non-ferrous metal, Cement as material, initially as mortar & later as concrete has revolutionised the possibilities of building. To develop a grasp of possibilities & limitations of Metals, Cement, Concrete & RCC.

METHODOLOGY

Lectures, Field trips, Documentations, Workshops, Seminars, Slideshows.

INTENT

Learned patronage and deep-seated percolation lead on to the highest pinnacle of cultural refinement. Study of the derivative cultures with a view to understanding and absorbthe reasons, processes and cultural objects including Architecturewhich leads on to the peak of design expression.

METHODOLOGY

Visits to Neo-Classical (European)Indian Architectural Sites through audio-visual Lectures, discussions with AV Library references including Ahmadabad, Vadodara, Mumbai

INTENT

To evolve intelligent appreciation & develop the vocabulary for discussing architectural design idea.

METHODOLOGY

Lectures, Field trips, Library ref.

INTENT
