Promoters impression.

2. 1
st
Jury (Conceptualization & design development)
The students ability to portray the development of his/her concept i.e. application of the
studies on the climatic conditions, site conditions & the environment functional requirements
and the relationship and the form research.
The viability of his/her concept
Site planning -orientation
-approach to building
-land utilization
-awareness of the environment
Functional Solution -space utilization (schedule of accommodation)
-spatial arrangement (planning)
-circulation
-lighting
-ventilation & weather protection

Aesthetical Achievement -unity of form


-expressiveness in character
-appropriateness to locality
Presentation -graphic & oral
-promoters impression
-evaluation of Thesis committee

3. Final Jury
