OBJECTIVES

All the four years of learning architectural design and allied subjects culminate in design thesis project to
motivate a student in investigative attitude individual methodology. Thus to train in handling projects
independently.

PROJECT

Each student will select a subject of an architectural interest in consultation with the committee appointed by
the Head / Principal of the Dept. / Institution. The subject will have to be approved at the beginning of the
eighth semester. The evolution of the thesis project will be continuous and the student will have to give at
least three seminars / submission. The thesis project shall be submitted in the form of bound report,
drawings, models etc. in a manner as stipulated in THESIS MANUAL on the date prescribed by the
University.

Communication 0 0 5 50 0 50 100 3

This is a lecture/seminar based course for developing conceptual skills and design processing in the context
of communication. To provide the students to gain broad-based visual communication design skills with an
emphasis on ideas, that prepares them for better representation of architecture, built form and built
environment as a visual communication medium. The course is to develop visual communication skills
through photography, videography,videocologyand sketches with documentation of historical and modern
architectural examples. The course is to cover the following:
Study of Visual Language - critical study of visual elements, features and principles.
Relationship between syntactic, semantics and pragmatics.
Viewpoints, point of reference and framing.
Relationship of colour, form and meaning.
Principles of visual dynamics and its analysis in 2D and 3D
Spatial relationship, grids, compositions and layout in 2 and 3 dimensional spaces, built form, and
built environment.
Analysis of Aesthetics- the structure of Appearance. Form in nature, Exploration of visual images
with analogies from nature and relating those to architectural forms.
Study on Indian thought and philosophy and its relation to visual communications.
Meaning of our festivals, mythology, the nature of religious ceremonies and other cultural
diversities, various Indian symbols and the process by which they are represented in Architecture
through visual communication.
