OUTLINE:
- Familiarize with the impact of technology, utilities, and regulations in shaping architecture
- Understand the various complex parameters to be considered while designing in the public domain
MODE OF STUDY.-
Three component approach to the Design Studio:
- Literature review and case studies: Learning from detailed study and analysis of building systems and envelopes; character of public buildings through literature review and visiting buildings in varied settings (urban, contemporary, permanent and temporary).
- Seminars: Seminars are intended to review parallel academic studies completed up to and during 5th semester studies in Building Construction/Structures/history/computer graphics, climatology/services and its importance and integration with the studio.
- Design Projects: Studio projects structure shall emphasize the non-linear interdisciplinary design process encountered in Architectural design and the importance of other fields of knowledge in Architectural Design. The Design Studio will give prominence to bridging the gap between innovations in materials and techniques of construction. An essential part of the studio process should be peer reviews and reviews by consultants in the field of Structures, Utilities and Services.
Assinment-1: Case Study

Assinment-2: Seminars
- Overview by a PHE, MECH/Elec., HVAC & firefighting consultant on what to expect and practical rules of thumb to help students plan.
- Overview by a Structural consultant on large span structural systems in parallel academic studies of 5th semester in MATERIALS AND METHODS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION – V and BUILDING STRUCTURES – V.
- Discussion on innovations in materials and techniques of construction and passive energy systems.
Assinment-3: Projects
One major project and one minor/time problem to be tackled in the semester. Projects shall be of urban scale with multiple functions and a need for imagery as one of the architectural goals. Museums, art galleries, theme-based hotels, transport interchanges, terminals and shopping, Industrial structures areas can be chosen. Project work could be done in 3 stages of activity interspersed with seminars.
- Introduction to the initial design parameters which include choice of;
- Geography/situation (context),
- User Group/development model,
- Development guidelines (byelaws).
- Approaches and strategies to address issues of community, public and private realms, edge conditions, communication and connectivity. This could result in the generation of diagrams/models exploring attitudes to site, allocation of built and un-built volumes and communication and connectivity.
- The design shall be sensitive to the needs of disabled, aged people and children.
It is recommended that site sizes should not be larger than 1 acre to allow for intensive study. However the Design studio faculty shall determine the extent of the site size. Projects shall be of urban scale with multiple functions; identity of public building (aesthetics, symbolic character, meaning) will be one of the architectural goals. Museums, art galleries, themebased hotels, transport interchanges, terminals and shopping areas can be chosen. Design emphasis shall be on the use of innovations in materials and techniques of construction. Concurrent or sequentially, another project shall be attempted with utilities and service dominant buildings like pharmaceutical manufacturing units or medical facilities. Consultants in the field of utilities and services shall be called as part of studio review. Alternatively projects involving large span structures like industrial structures may be attempted. Design emphasis shall be on the skins and support of structural systems and resulting architectural form, space and experience.
Note:
- One major project and one minor/ time problem to be tackled in semester.
- Detailing of architectural features of the major project like entrance lobby, skylights and staircases has to be attempted.
- Submission shall comprise of duly drawn/drafted site plans, elevations, section views, models etc.

SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME – 6th SEMESTER
This studio should equip a student to tackle the 6th Semester program like Institutional projects of higher learning, vocational training or a small-scale campus.
