Design of imaginative forms to develop the creativity in terms of built form. Design with application of principles and theory of Architectural design and philosophies of contemporary architects.

The attempt is towards developing one’s own language and philosophy of architecture to guide towards exploring alternative building forms for different activities which help in understanding the relationship of structure and possibilities in building forms. Design problems should include problems of simple and complex nature i.e. temple, gathering places, exhibition pavilion, clubs, cafe, community hall, museums, art gallery, pavilion, sport complexes, nursing homes.

Emphasis shall be given more on three dimensional studies to develop an understanding for man and space relationship and also relevant building bye-laws.

There should be variety of problems in the studio work with changing focus for each problem from theory to construction techniques (local) and site layouts, covering organization and detailing of open spaces with the aim to learn to work with practical limitations.

One group exercise of making measure drawings of a building for documentation. Minimum one time problem is to be attempted in class, of 18 hrs duration.

Note: Sessional should be done in the form of drawing sheets and reports for the design projects.

Assessment shall be done on the basis of regular reviews.

1. Design and Constructional details of sliding, sliding folding, revolving doors, swing doors and sliding windows in timber.

2. Design and construction details of fix glazing, side hung doors in aluminum, fully glass door, rolling shutter and collapsible shutter.

3. Study of metal and aluminum sectioned curtain wall.

4. Study of compound wall (advanced type) with security arrangement, study of wicket gate and large entrance gates rolling on wheels.

5. Study of water proofing and roof light. Study of details of various methods of facade treatment and interior finishes.

Note: i) There should be regular site visits to buildings under construction or constructed to explain the above topics. Use of audio-visuals should be stressed.

1. Minimum 8 sheets shall be prepared out of which two may be in sketch form (scaled).

This course is studied in order to see how builders in the past solved their structural, functional and aesthetic problems. This survey of history gives the student a chance to study the structural basis of great styles, methods of admitting daylight, for decoration, for planning and so on, as related to structure. Importance is also attached to the sociological background i.e. political, economic, religious, technical and philosophic ideas and ideals which lie behind all buildings.

This will be studied with the help of selected samples of buildings under the various historical civilizations of Indian and the oriental in general, in chronological order.

1. Architectural Presentation techniques-

   Study of graphical presentation techniques in different medium of expression and architectural delineation.

   Hints for selection of observers’ location for better perspective view. Hand drafted bird’s eye view, normal perspective and interior views and use of different mediums and techniques in perspective.

   Rendering techniques in perspective by showing shades, shadows, human figures, trees, related background and foreground to create suitable environment- manually and also with the computer.

   Note: There should be regular site visits to buildings for explaining the above course and learning with the help of audio-visual techniques should be emphasized. The students should be encouraged to work manually.

2. Graphic Design:

   Graphic Design is intended to be a first course in computer aided page design. The skillful combining of images and text become the core of this course. It is a working studio class and through demonstrations and hands on work students will learn to solve visual problems using Adobe Photoshop CS2 - CS6. This "hands on" experience is the key to success in this class. In the end, the students will work on traditional design problems leading to a portfolio of 10 pieces illustrating concepts learned. From postage stamps to giant billboards, graphic design permeates our environment. Understanding how to apply basic design concepts to the presentation of informative or persuasive material is crucial to communicating with an audience. Typography, image, space, color, and form will be integrated as the term progresses. The main emphasis of the course will be on students and their work. By actually working, taking risks, experimenting, making mistakes and creating with the computer, much is to be learned.
