Till third year, we expect the students to be equipped with ability to design and evolve

architectural form , considering the various internal factors such as function, site conditions

(inside plot boundary), structural systems constructional and services requirements etc…..

OBJECTIVE:

�Understanding of various urban and rural issues such as scarcity of resources,

sustainable development, urban infill, context, renewal, energy crisis and their implications

on emerging built form and spaces with due importance to functional efficiency.

The objectives of design studio at fourth year level are:

1. Architecture is not always what is physical and visible,but it also has some invisible components, whichcontribute to the “total experience” for its users.contribute to the “total experience” for its users.

2. Interaction between spaces and users; architecture andits surroundings are important aspects which makearchitecture appropriate for its place, time and people(users)

In fourth year, we expect students to understand impact of external factors (context) onevolution of architectural form and process to be adopted to incorporate it in evolution ofarchitectural form …..

•• Detailing of levels and plans Being a contoured site, the levels, access, opens spaces, transitional spaces etc were detailed out on the site plan with help of various sections various elements enhancing the design were integrated at his stage.

Detailed sections

• Special features ( local climate responsive elements) Elements like pergolas, colonnades, false walls, sky lights, roof forms etc. were detailed out keeping in view the local and traditional features used both in Sri Lanka as well as in Mumbai.

of an advisor

Architecture need not be

Interaction with Ar. Vinod Gupta

Feedback:

The design project with the adopted methodology has made students aware and

conscious about ……

•The sustainability approach in evolution of built form has to be inherent aspect of

decision making.

•As far as energy efficiency in built environment is concerned; the solutions are

always simple and simple solutions are more effective than the applied, superficial

and hi-tech approach.

•A comparative evaluative approach is what required for arriving at ultimate solution.

• PROGRESSION IN DEALING DESIGN PROJECTS CONCERNING CONTEXT CLIMATE…METHOD RECOMMENDED BY CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES , BHARTI VIDYAPEETH , PUNE WAS USED

• ENVIRONMENT…NOT ONLY FORM BUT USE OF MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY…. MAKING IT ECOFRIENDLY

Architect, Mr. Kinhikar, Chairman

Heritage conservation Committee, Ar.

Pradyumna Sahasrabhojanee,

planner, Mrs. Shobha Phanshikar,

Conservation Activist, Prof. Andhare

The issue is very complex and in such cases, teachers may expose to limited

viewpoints. Hence to expose them to varied viewpoints and channelise thinking, a

panel discussion was organized.

A master plan to establish symbiotic relationship between the site and

surroundings is developed which focused on socio-cultural developments which

intern bring economic gains. The identified infrastructure was then detailed out in

terms of architectural design.

In the proposed master plan for Thimpu, by Ar. Christopher Benninger ; there are 8

proposed neighbourhood nodes, which will serve the new democratic capital

Thimpu and its hinterland. The architectural character of these new NODES would

become the trendsetter for the further new developments to come up after it

becomes democratic country.

The essence of Bhutanese architecture : composition of positive and

negative spaces and their proportions;

formed the basis for new compositions to be derived for a

neighbourhood nodes.

PROCESS ADOPTED….for EVOLUTION

OF FORM AND THE ROLE OF TEACHER

IN IT…….Making student explore options full of conflicts,

contradictions and confusion

then….Leading student from

Ambiguity , confusion to clarityAmbiguity , confusion to clarity

Irrationality to rationality

Making the architecture appropriate to place, time and people…..

developing a sense of social, moral and ethical responsibility

amongst students towards their designs.
