This Design studio intends to make students comprehend that Architecture can also be thought of as a Design
response to technology & materials. Scholars are required to develop an understanding of contemporary
technological expressions and the use of modern materials such as glass, steel, aluminium and plastics.
Explorations in geometry for the determination of form & structure using computers, is encouraged.
Image & its induction in buildings Study of the architectural expressions that imbue a building with a
certain image (posh, extravagant, luxurious, up market, down town, hi-tech, ethnic, contemporary
etc).The relationship between a particular image and the materials & lighting should be established.
Students have to understand the circulation patterns & services required in commercial buildings. Ex
Shopping mall / Art gallery / marriage hall / memorial complex etc.
Technological expressions This project intends to explore the possibility of image induction using
expressions of technology for industrial buildings. Hence the functional aspects and the external form
assume significance. Students are encouraged to explore architectural styles in vogue such as deconstructivism, Bauhaus ,post modern, hi-tech etc. Ex. Garment factory / watch factory / Electronic
goods (computers, cellphones etc.) / Bicycle manufacturing unit etc.
Office buildings Office spaces require special care in design & detailing. Students get exposed to the
various services, structural systems and vertical access systems such as elevators, escalators etc of
multi-storeyed buildings. Knowledge about various types of cores, fire fighting systems and special
building rules applicable to multi-storeyed buildings are implied. Scholars will be required to do the
Interior design scheme in detail. Ex. Multi-storeyed office buildings that do not exceed G+6 floors.

Designing for sustainability Sustainable architecture and planning has become vital factor in the design of all
buildings because the building activity is considered as one of the major pollutants of the natural environment.
Study of the various techniques of Energy-efficient design and recycling technologies for water & wastes is
mandatory as these have to be incorporated in the design proposals. Awareness about LEEDS rating and best
practices is expected.
Institutional buildings These are buildings with complex spatial organizations, multifunctional spaces, large
spans and variable circulation patterns. Environmental issues are emphasized and the Design studio aims to
inculcate the techniques of designing for sustainability. Students are expected to do the landscape layout in
