3.P. Hall, Urban and regional planning. Rutledge. Taylor and Francis group. London,. 2002
4. Peter Hall and Mark Tewdwr-Jones,‟Urban and Regional Planning‟ 2010
OBJECTIVES
After successful completion of this course, student should be able to:
Pursue an idea of research with depth of inquiry, criticality and logic and carry out an in-depth investigation of an area of Architecture that he/she is interested in.
CONTENT:
Studio: The student will be guided in their work by their selected / appointed guides throughout the three courses to produce an illustrative, written dissertation. The dissertation calls for a substantial impetus on the quality and quantity of output, besides having a thrust on newer and more relevant areas of research / design and plan intervention / application of planning, design and analytical tools and techniques. The choice of subject, formulation of Design Programme, Site investigation and selection, and finally culmination in the concrete design demonstration shall depend upon many factors such as student’s personal interest, circumstances and abilities. A careful check shall be made to see that access is available to relevant buildings and to appropriate libraries, record offices, laboratories and other technical resources. Students are expected to complete the project, with critical remarks and assessment from the counselor.
Following is a list of few Building Types for reference; the student is free to choose any other Architectural topic of their interest.
Housing Individual or Group Housing Schemes.
Transportation Projects: Railway stations, City / Interstate Bus Terminus / Domestic and International Air Ports
Cultural, Educational Projects: Display oriented topics like Museums, Art Galleries, and Theatres for Performing Arts such as Drama, Dance and Music.

Industrial Projects: Factories, Specialized Production Centers such as Pharmacy Industry, IT Parks and related types of building
Technical and Specialized topics such as: Hospitals, Clinics, Film and T. V. Studios,
OBJECTIVES :(1) To equip the students to read and understand concepts, information, experiments, field studies though research papers, essays, books, articles and other sources;
(2) Assist them to understand the arguments/discussion and methodology and form connections with their Studio.
PADAGOGY: Introduces the students to the process of critical enquiry within a specific field or topic by way of reading other works and understanding the arguments, forming coherent connections, writing to communicate hypotheses, supported by valid arguments.
OBJECTIVE:
After the completion of this course, students should be able to:
Acquire a comprehensive base of knowledge required for the practice of architecture.
Develop awareness in physical context about implications of limited sources in design decision making. CONTENT:
Architectural design project of a large magnitude in one of or similar categories of building typology emphasizing on need of Advance construction techniques and Advance Building services like: Projects for High end hospitality, industry, Super specialty hospitals, Airports & mass transportation terminals, Research laboratories, High end IT Park & establishments, High rise buildings, State Secretariat and assembly, etc.
