AIM : Study of natural environmental factors, their impact and consideration by human settlements of a town on a part of a city. Especially on housing forms, open spaces, their activities and construction methods including energy efficient structures. Emphasis on the following attitudes is important :- Detailed study of one or more of the following aspects - climatic considerations and relationship with life style. Emphasis on Consideration of constructional details, basic details of services like kitchen, toilets etc. and site planning of the scheme. Design problems with natural and manmade parameters dealing with independent bungalows, farm houses, combined units, duplex type their cluster or grouping etc. along with relevant Building codes.

There should be minimum one time problem of 12 hrs. duration apart from regular design problems in the studio.


Note: The sessionals will be in the form of drawings and models along with technical report for the design dealt with. The evaluation should be done in intermediate review consisting of internal and external experts. There should be regular site visits to the building types dealt in the studio problems of which audio-visual should be prepared.
