SUBMISSION WORK
Sessional work for the Architectural Project shall consist of a Design Solution: Graphically presented
design solution in form of sufficient number of architectural drawings, (manually drawn
computerized) with models etc. Since the Architectural Project is the culmination of five years of
learning in various aspects of Architecture, it is expected that students demonstrate an ability of
holistic and comprehensive thinking in the areas of,

• Site Planning
• Structural considerations
• Interior space planning
• Environmental planning
• Building Services.
• Climate responsive, Energy efficient design and exhibiting qualities of Sustainable
Architecture
• Architectural Detailing

The portfolio will consist of drawings sufficiently in detail to demonstrate the Consideration given
to the above mentioned attributes of a good quality Architectural Project. Emphasis shall be given
to the preparation of self-explanatory drawings in great detail, as if in any Architectural
Competition.

SESSIONAL ASSESSMENT
The INTERNAL ASSESSMENT OF Architectural Project" shall be carried out STAGE WISE as decided
by the individual College. The final assessment in the examination shall be done by the Internet and
External Examiner, in the exam the student will display and explain his work on the space allotted
to him and answer all the queries raised by the Examiners.

The Time allotted per student shall be minimum 3 minutes to maximum 45 minutes. The Internal
stage wise marking shall be done out of 150 marks and External marking shall be done jointly by
the External Examiner/s out of 150 marks. 100 marks shall be reserved for oral presentation to be
assessed jointly by both Internal and External Examiners.

The individual college will make available Guides specializing in various disciplines who will make
themselves available to the students in college premises on pre appointed days and time Individual
Guide will guide maximum of FIVE STUDENTS of a particular College in which he is working as a
Guide. Total number of students from all the Colleges shall not exceed EIGHT at anyone time.
In order to qualify to work as a Guide the teacher/ professional must possess minimum of FIVE
YEARS of teaching professional experience. Efforts shall be made to appoint guides who have high
academic qualification, having rich Professional experience and contributed in a major way to the
field of Architectural Education/Profession.

RECOMMENDED READING
All books relevant to the topic of the Architectural project.
Note: Marks for Thesis work shall be allotted by the respective guide and project committee. Final
marking will be done by an internal panel of three members appointed by the institute, as far as
possible. Practicing Architects should be involved by the institute in this panel, if a student fails to
submit his work according to decided schedule, his/her internal marking will be affected. Unless a
student passes in the internal assessment, he/she will not be allowed to appear for the external
assessment.

The type written Thesis must be presented in neatly bound 3 copies, one copy of which will be
retained by the college, one retained by the guide and one returned to candidate. The size of the
Thesis volume must be A4 size (TRIMMED 201X 297) on sunlit bond or equivalent paper with
standard binding with black or brown cloth with embossed title on top and preferably on the
spine. The printed format of certificate which will be supplied by college will be bound along
with other written pages in the beginning of the dissertation. This will be certified and signed by
the college authorities as an authentication of the work by the guide who has guided the work.
The Index page must contain the following sequence and paging the volume must follow this
sequence. Attach either reduced size Xerox or photocopies of drawings (of legible) or prints
neatly folded to suit the size of the volume.

1. Introduction (the why and what of the project)

2. Planning proposals (what do you wish to do?)
3. Case studies (actual similar examples - book and visited)
4. Location (Where is it proposed brief environmental characteristics)
5. Physical photographs (surrounding details)
6. Design determinates (concepts that guided you to arrive at the decisions or solution)
7. Architectural proposals (Actual copies of drawings and/or reduced photocopies)
8. Bibliography (reference books, papers etc. from where information is gathered)

It is recommended that the appraisal or the criticism of building projects which appears in magazine
on Architecture be read so as to acquaint the student with technical language in explaining case
studies.

I have read, understood and taken a note of all the information given in this book and am aware of
the drawing requirements and submission that needs to be submitted.
