COURSE OBJECTIVE:

To understand Architectural Design as a process generating design brief and taking design
decisions based on the following aspects:

 Socio-Cultural Aspects: To introduce students to socio-cultural aspects like lifestyle,

culture, traditions, and their effect on architectural design etc.
 Aesthetics: To understand the Aesthetic aspects of Design (visual and experiential)
along with spatial attributes (scale and proportions, volume, texture, light and shadows,
etc.) and formal characteristics. (profile, base, corner, termination).
 Anthropometry & Function: To address functional aspects of design (activity, use of
space, adequacy and efficiency of space for a particular activity, essential adjacencies of
spaces, ease and efficiency of circulation, light, ventilation, user-space relationship,
vertical connections)
 Climate: To understand the Climatic aspects those have a bearing on architectural
design and address climatic concerns like adequate light, ventilation, protection from
rain, insulation, shading, heat gain, through passive strategies.
 Building Material and Construction Technology: To study relevance of various
building materials to a project, to get introduced to various expressions of a building
material, to introduce a student to the construction technologies relevant to the building
materials chosen, to understand the scope and limitations of a building technique to
achieve the desired form and space.
 Building Services: To understand the spatial and structural implications of basic
services involved in building design.

 Universal Design: To understand the concept and principles of universal design.
 Precedent Studies: To introduce the students to learn from case, referral, live studies -
process of observation, analysis, documentation and deriving inferences.
COURSE OUTLINE:
 Project 1 (Major Project) : A dwelling for a single family or clusters of dwellings for
multiple families with area 300 sq.m. to 500 sq.m. The project should explicitly
address at least 4-5 aspects of the design decision process from those listed above.
The project should be designed without the aid of mechanical means for vertical
transportation.

specifically on any one of the aspects mentioned in course objectives/ Hands-on
Workshop / Exercise based on detailing any one of the components of Project 1 but
with separate deliverables in addition to the deliverable of Project 1.

SESSIONAL WORK:
 Project 1 (Major Project): The student must represent the identification of core design
aspect, formulation of design approach and development, and the final design outcome
through architectural drawings along with representative details of construction. Along
with the drawings, the student must develop the design through a series of models/ 3D
visualizations made at various stages.
Design deliverable for Project 1:
i. Portfolio A - Architectural drawings and model at an appropriate scale
ii. Portfolio B - Process drawings / tracings (Recommended)
iii. Study models of various stage (Recommended)

 For Project 2 (Minor Project): The deliverable in case of a time bound assignment or a
design exercise should be a portfolio of drawings and / or model. In case of Workshops
the deliverable should be a report to be presented on the day of viva.

COURSE OUTCOME:

 At the end of the course the student is equipped to take design decisions by considering
various aspects and methodically evolve a design and communicate it in form of 2D and
3D representations.

Design deliverables -
i. Portfolio A - Architectural drawings and model at an appropriate scale
ii. Portfolio B - Process drawings / tracings (Recommended)
iii. Study models of various stage (Recommended)
 Project 2 (Minor Project): The Study Tour documentationcovering details from whole to
part and must include narratives, sketches, scale drawings, photographs. It may additionally
have information presented in any other formats in addition to the ones mentioned above.
The short term project or eskeeto be presented in form of drawings to explain the scheme.

COURSE OUTCOME :

 At the end of the course the student is equipped to take design decisions by considering
various aspects and methodically evolve a design where two or more buildings are to be
