CONTENT
Architecture is a man made addition to the world and is resource intensive. The questions in this regard are how to simplify needs and means. Concerns of sustainability drive the basic act of designing through the act of making. Further, architecture today is also required to integrate several physical concerns in a building as human needs in built environment have become more complex with respect to intensity, distribution and interdependency of activities/ programmes. Here the challenge is to address complex, service intensive needs in an efficient and innovative manner so as to conserve/ optimise resources and use them in an ingenious manner. Appropriate tools and techniques can be used in study and design. Following this, the nature of projects can be either or both of these- 1) simple scale, ordinary or special use projects examining design through resources of different types 2) large, complex projects (multi storeyed buildings, office complexes, buildings for healthcare, performing art centre, etc.,) that need technical resolution and/or balance of various aspects. Aspects to be addressed can be urban land as resource, planning integration and detailing, sustainable building practices, green issues, alternative energy, intelligent building techniques and service integration, advanced building practices, appropriate materials and construction, sensitive and optimal use of resources. The number of projects are left to the discretion of the faculty based on scale and complexity.
