CONTENT
Human environment today is synonymous with heterogeneity of populace and their diverse needs and lifestyles. Private and public spaces for varied programmes such as living, working and sociocultural needs bring individuals and groups in intersection or proximity to each other. Further, current transformations in urban society have led to many changes in buildings. The challenge within the discipline of architecture is not only to create conducive spaces for contemporary ways of life within particular contexts, but also to identify issues and programmes and address them in innovative ways. These would include urban living, urban working, socio-cultural life, urban recreation, etc., Achieving comfort without sacrificing on density would also be a concern, along with exposure to building byelaws and barrier free environment. The approach and projects will be directed towards one or more of these aspects. The tools and techniques engaged for study and design can be those which are best suited to study the above, including mapping of urban patterns/ways of life and needs, demographics, socio-cultural aspects, densities, land use, etc., Projects will address specific situations/scenarios/typologies characteristic of urban life and context, either single or mixed use. They will be of medium to large scale, involving repetitive or unique spaces, low or mid rise buildings with passive/active energy. The number of projects is left to the discretion of the faculty based on scale and complexity.
