Course Objectives:
- To outline the larger focus and relevance of the Thesis topic (design/research), its architectural implications and projected design results.
- Alternatively to conceptually formulate an architectural proposition, explore and articulate ideas through research and critically evaluate the feasibility of the Thesis Proposal. This includes determining the Project, context where it shall be explored and its significance to architecture.
- To encourage students to pose relevant questions on the discipline (theoretical/design); to undertake self- directed study with inquisitiveness, rigor and demonstrate a depth of inquiry in exploring the chosen topics.
- To focus on innovation, experimentation (theoretical premise/ tectonics/modes of representation/other) as some of the learning outcomes and draw inspiration/build on the various Electives/ Design Studios proposed/taken through the undergraduate Program
OUTLINE/ DESCRIPTION:
The Thesis Seminar can be conducted as a combination of interactive workshops, presentations/ seminar, key lectures and focused discussions with individual students on chosen topics. Each topic should be studied using extensive literature reviews including readings in relevant critical theoretical/ philosophical premise; case studies (site visits); focused meetings with external subject/ topic experts and design research methods. The Thesis Seminar should be seen as an opportunity to engage with a topic/ question on the discipline architecture through reading, writing, drawing, diagramming and modelling ideas. The role of the Tutors / Thesis advisors is to introduce the students to issues relevant to architecture (allied disciplines), significant design research methodologies and discuss the new research directions in the discipline through readings, exercises and workshops. The Tutor/ Thesis advisors shall also critique student ideas/ research and help formulate/ shape a design/ research method. The dedicated discussion sessions on each topic should clarify the intent, type of project, location, scope and limitations.
