Humans create and shape spaces/ forms for use. Use includes all aspects of human life- starting from containing the human as a unit (anthropometrics), the needs for carrying out of basic activities, spatial requirements for them, relationship between spaces, requirements of shelter, privacy, social and cultural factors, environmental response, psychological well being, light and air, meaning and symbolism, structure and economy, and so on. Architecture as a discipline brings all these needs together into a coherent totality through the act of conscious design. Conscious design involves the study/analysis of the existing and extrapolating towards the future through speculation. In the Basic Space Design Studio, the focus would be on simple architectural design projects that would enable the learning of the fundamentals of space with respect to all the above. The projects would be based on small, everyday situations involving simple circulation, materials and use. It could a typology of private or public nature. Some suggestive projects are bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, shop, pavilion, creche, snack bar, residence, petrol bunk, fire station, bus stop. There would be a maximum of three projects. The techniques used for study and presentation can align themselves towards the above, such as cognitive maps, sketches, manual drawings, physical models with simple materials.
