OBJECTIVES:
• Making student learn the art of collecting data and to carry out analysis for the process of
evolving design and individuality of approach.
• Understanding site planning: organization, scale, hierarchy, orientation and climate.
• Understanding complex services in multi-storied buildings; understanding the architectural
content of services in buildings.
• Implication of knowledge of design fundamentals and knowledge gained in other subjects
to develop better design solutions.
• Developing appropriate graphic skills and presentation techniques (models, rendering) to explain
the contents of a design.
CONTENTS:
Unit I 63 Hrs
Residential:
Residential buildings for defined clients and requirements framed for specific plot/ land in urban context.
Suggested studio exercise: Detached and semi-detached houses, terraced housing, Group housing,
Housing for specific socio-economic groups, Apartments etc.
Unit II 69 Hrs
Non-Residential:
Designing for unidentified users- the buildings other than residential uses e.g., middle order educational
buildings, commercial and health-care facilities etc. Suggested studio exercise: Neighborhood shopping
centers, commercial banks, polyclinics/ diagnostic centres, Senior Secondary School etc.
Unit III 72 Hrs
High Rise buildings and interiors:
5-star Hotels, Malls, Multiplexes, multi-storied Office Building etc.
Units IV 60 Hrs
Industrial & Transportations Buildings:
Factories, Milk Plants, Power stations, Transport terminals etc.
Units V 60 Hrs
Designing for Earthquakes & Barrier Free Environment:
The Design exercise of multi-storied buildings to cater to parameters required for Seismic Zone V &
barrier free environment.
Time Problem is also recommended for students to get equipped with time constraint projects.
All buildings should have accessibility to the physically challenged persons.
METHODOLOGY:
• The methodology for a design should include: Data collection and its analysis, impact of Climatic
conditions and socio-economic factors, formulation of user requirements, philosophy based
1
, concept development and final design (Plans, elevations, Sections, views, 3Dimensional physical
model, perspectives etc).
• Library study is necessary to understand the basic functions of building, codes, byelaws, norms,
standards, anthropometric etc.
• Prototype case-studies may be done in groups of 2-5 students.
• Design submission should also integrate knowledge of anthropometrics and standards.
• Regular assessment shall be done through internal/ external Juries.
• For better supervision and guidance all students are to be equally evaluated by all the concerned
design teachers and the teachers should properly maintain students teacher ratio during studio
hours. Moreover, students can be equally distributed among allotted design teachers for
extra guidance and could be rotated accordingly for the succeeding design projects.
• It is mandatory that at the end of studio hours class work assessment should be done and
recorded on students sheet.
• For better understanding and to enhance visual perception of the student city tours shall be
scheduled on regular basis. Moreover for exposure to various forms and style prevalent in
architecture in our country, educational tour should be scheduled. The report to be submitted by
the student shall be assessed as part of the studio work of Architectural Design.
• For annual subjects, the sessional marks will be finalized by adding both semesters marks.
• Mode of submission can be manual or Digital.
CONDUCT OF EXAMINATION:
Theory:
There will be a theory examination in Architectural Design of 100 marks. The topic of design shall be
declared one week in advance of the examination date. The duration of the Design theory examination is
18 hours. The examination is conducted over two days with a session of 6 hours per day (Two shifts of
st st
three hours each per day). At the end of 1 day, the students shall submit their 1 day sketch which will
be submitted with the final submission; however the students may make a duplicate of the submission
st
made on the 1 day for reference or if they desire, may start the final work on the first day itself. A
st
maximum of 30 marks shall be for the sketch submitted on the 1 day. Announcement of the design
topic to the students for examination shall be made 10 days in advance.
For the Design theory examination, the examiners are required to prescribe any special stationery to be
issued to the students for the examination of this subject besides cartridge, graph sheet and tracing
paper.
Viva-voce:
The viva-voce examination of 100 marks shall relate to the work done in the design studio and the topics
listed in the syllabus.
The viva-voce examination shall be conducted by two examiners: one external and one internal.
SUGGESTED BOOKS:
Francis D.K.Ching, Architecture Form, Space and Order
Donald Watson, Michael J. Crosbie Time Saver Standard
Parmar V.S Design Fundamentals
Scott Van Dyke Form, Line to Design
Scott R Design Fundamentals
E&OE Architects Hand Book and Planning
SESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Monthly Assessment (Assignments) = 80 marks
Regularity (Attendance) = 20 marks
Mid Term Test = Not applicable
Total = 100 marks
2
, SUGGESTED EXAMINATION PATTERN:
Q 1: One compulsory question of design proposal is to be set from the entire syllabus. The breakup of
marks shall be as follows:
• Concept and Philosophy = 15 marks
• All building plans including site plan = 40 marks
• Elevations (preferably two) = 15 marks
• Sections = 15 marks
• Supporting views and sketches = 15 marks
TOTAL = 100 marks
NOTE: Question paper should clearly define design proposal and provide site details and user
requirements.
