III
The aim of the course is to emphasis and evolves the methodology for architectural design with reference to
the previous knowledge of function and aesthetics. The design should highlight clear approach to the design
with concept, Analysis, Synthesis and clarity of details (like barrier free design considerations), along with
architectural expression with use of appropriate graphic presentation techniques.
1. The design should be done with sensitivity towards surroundings i.e. traditional and vernacular
architecture, construction techniques and environment.
2. The assignments shall be design of small buildings like nursery schools, restaurants, small nursing
homes, small offices, exhibition pavilions, dispensaries, residences, canteens, shops etc.
Two time problems (as class tests) are to be conducted in class other than regular design problems.
Notes:
Sessional will be in the form of drawings and models along with project report for the design dealt. The
evaluation shall be done in intermediate reviews consisting of internal and external experts. There should
be regular site visits / case studies of buildings, so as to document them with the help of photographs,
slides, etc.
