OUTCOMES:  Students learn construction details using naturally occurring building materials such as stone, bamboo, mud and lime through drawing as well as doing a literature or live case study. Students are to submit drawing plates comprising of technical plan, elevation and section along with sketches and details showing method of construction. TEXTBOOKS: 1.

MODEL MAKING AND ARCHITECTURAL DELINEATION

L T P/S 0 0 6

C 3

OBJECTIVES:  To introduce students to analytical and illustrative drawing techniques as tools in the materialization and expression of thoughts.  To introduce model making as a generative process, a tool in Design generation.  To inculcate the dynamic act of constructing in thinking process.  To understand the challenges of proper craftsmanship. 16 UNIT I LINE, RENDER AND MIXED MEDIA Free hand sketching in architectural representation- pen, charcoal, ink, water colour, paints, mixed media, collages, lino cutting, print making as tools. UNIT II DIAGRAMMING 18 Conceptual sketches - Plan, section, elevation, perspectives, isometric / oblique projections, axonometric /parallel projection, photography and montage as techniques in Architectural delineation from study till presentation. Unit I & II can be explored by way of assignments that require study, analysis, documentation with weightage given to representational expression and techniques. UNIT III DESIGN PROCESSES AND MODEL MAKING TECHNIQUES 18 Generative / geometry, fractals, parametrics / material explorations (both in traditional materials like mount, foam, thermacoel, clay, plaster of Paris, paper Mache, wood and new age materials like polystyrene, Aerocon blocks, plastics, meshes, and processes like carpentry, casting, moulding, welding ,laser cutting etc. Unit III can be explored with exercises that involve research through a process for example nature to structure and the evolution of a structural system that can be fabricated to scale.

UNIT IV PRESENTATION MODELS 18 Exploration in varying scales of models through instruction in techniques- Residential to urban - Historic / Contemporary buildings - Exercises involving topography, textures, landscapes, human elements etc. UNIT V STUDY MODELS AS A TOOL IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROCESS 20 Exploration of the physical model as a tool through all phases of architectural design process, ranging from conceptual to specific design solutions- This Unit will integrate with the Architectural Design course in this semester. TOTAL: 90 PERIODS OUTCOMES:  Exploration of conventional and less conventional techniques of representation in an attempt to creative visualization and to understand drawings as vehicles of thinking.  Versatility in making models ranging from study to presentation and in varying scales and materials.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN I

L T P/S 0 0 12

C 6

OBJECTIVES:  To enable the conceptualization of form, space and structure through creative thinking and to initiate architectural design process deriving from first principles.  To involve students in a design project(s) that will involve simple space planning and the understanding of the functional aspects of good design.  To involve students in a small scale building project(s) which will sensitize them to intelligent planning that is responsive to the environmental context.  To involve students in building case study by choosing appropriate examples to enable them to formulate and concretize their concepts and architectural program.  To engage in discussion and analytical thinking by the conduct of seminars/ workshops.  To enable the presentation of concepts through various modes and techniques that will move constantly between 2D representation and 3D modeling.

CONTENT: Scale and Complexity: projects involving small span, single space, single use spaces with simple movement, predominantly horizontal, as well as simple function public buildings of small scale; ive energy. Areas of focus/ concern: • Architectural form and space. • Aesthetic and psychological experience of form and space in of scale, colour, light, texture, etc. • Function and need: requirements, anthropometrics, space standards, circulation. • Image and symbolism. Typology/ project: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, shop, exhibition pavilion, children’s environment, snack bar, residence, petrol bunk, fire station. TOTAL: 180 PERIODS OUTCOMES:  The students shall understand the basic functional aspect of deg simple building type and its relevant spatial organization.  The students shall be learn to reciprocate and sensitize the design/concept to the environment and the design skill of the project.
