16DES1.1: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN - I

Contact periods: 8Hours (1Lecture + 7Studios) per week

VivaMarks: 50

Progressive Marks: 50

OBJECTIVE:

To introduce the idea of Design in general and ‘Architectural Design’ in particular so as to

initiate a thought process that is conducive for independent enquiry into a problem and

finding an appropriate solution for the same.

OUTLINE:

The course work is divided in three phases; Orientation phase, pre-design phase and Design

phase.

Module 1: Orientation Phase

This phase attempts to orient a novice to the field of architecture and design through stories,

discussions, presentations, and simple design exercises. It has following parts-

a) Basic Orientation: Lecture series on: Introduction to the field of Architecture, Course

structure, avenues and possibilities as an architect; Interesting stories and anecdotes

and conceptual thoughts behind some landmark buildings (3 to 4) of faculty’s choice.

Generation of group discussion and debate is recommended.

b) Introduction to lateral thinking: Encourages looking at day to day objects and

products with new meaning. Ask students to choose any object of their choice and

assign a totally different and unrelated function to it. Encourages observation and

analysis.

c) Understanding a ‘designed’ product: Encourages observing and analyzing what makes

a good design. Ask student to choose a product. Draw and analyze it for its function.

Redesign the product after understanding the problems and possible value additions.

For example a carry bag for architecture student. Sketching pads, sheet holder etc.

Module 2: Pre (Architectural) Design Phase

This phase generates a basic platform for architectural design to begin.

a) Anthropometry and Spatial Understanding: Makes student aware of basic sense of

scale of human body and its interrelationship with day to day objects as well as

spaces. Students to measure and draw plan, elevations and view of various furniture

units namely: sofa set, dinning set, Kitchen counter, Bed, Cupboard and puja space of

their own residence with reference to their own body.

b) Introduction to basic terminology: Introduction of basic terminology and their

location in an architectural space such as concept of plinth, sill level, lintel level, slab

level, etc. and their relevance in architectural space making. To be done by the faculty

and initiate discussions.

c) Introduction to the idea and importance of ‘BUILT’, ‘UNBUILT’ and ‘IN-

BETWEEN’ spaces (solid vs void): Introducing the students to the refined ideas and

interrelationships between solids, voids and in-between or semi open spaces with the

help of examples. Students to prepare poster showcasing their understanding of above

stated ideas.

Module 3: Design Phase

This phase explores the beginnings of architectural design through mono-functional spaces

and self-contained spaces using the terminologies and understandings of Pre design phase.

a) Exercise one (Mono-functional spaces): Design of a ‘living space’ and ‘Bedroom

spaces’ exploring the possibilities of built, unbuilt and in-between spaces and

appropriately locating and emphasizing and even celebrating elements such as plinth,

lintel, sill etc. The design to consciously integrate and explore the relationship

between built and unbuilt spaces. The design to should be preceded by appropriate

case studies and literature studies.

b) Exercise two (Self-contained spaces): This exercise encourages students to observe

activities as well as spatial and functional arrangements of self-contained spaces such

as pan shop, prayer pavilion, Tulsi-vrindavankatta etc. Student to observe and

examine an existing case study and interpret it through architectural design.

All exercises and observations are expected to be submitted by the students in the form of a

portfolio at the end of the semester.

16DES2.1: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN - II

Contact periods: 8Hours (1Lecture + 7Studios) per week

Viva Marks: 50


OBJECTIVE:

To introduce the idea of ‘abstraction’ in Architectural Design, enabling students to weave

stories, inspirations, and patterns in space making and design process.

OUTLINE:

The course work is divided in three parts. ‘Initiation into Abstract thought’, ‘Abstraction and

spaces’ and ‘Design’

Module 1: Initiation into Abstract Thinking

This phase attempts to initiate the process of abstraction and inspiration and weave it with

architectural spaces.

a) ‘Observation’ and ‘Appreciation’: Students to be acquainted with the joys of

observing details of phenomenon or objects in nature. Students to be initiated to

meditate upon the happening and observe it keenly. While they observe they have to

consciously record their feelings. Further the students to take photograph of the

phenomenon or object and title it by giving appropriate reasons. Example:

Phenomenon such as- release of multi colored inks in water; Mixing oil and water;

waving of fields in wind; waves in the sea; and object characteristics such as Textured

stones, Colourful flowers, Patterned leaves, etc.

b) Idea of ‘Inspiration’ and ‘Abstraction’: Students to choose an object in nature (such as

flower, leaf, stone, wood etc.) that inspires them. This exercise explores the

possibilities of how inspirations can be weaved into design. However the constraint

the students have to work upon is that they cannot take the form of the object directly.

They have to understand the ‘sensa’ (qualities of object or event that stimulate ones

senses) of the object and recreate it in the design. They are encouraged to design

anything like a lamp, installation, culinary articles, furniture, painting or sculpture.

This design should attempt to recreate the ‘sensa’ and not the form. The success of the

design would be in the fact that the design does not in any way looks like the ‘object’

from which it is inspired, however when the designer reveals the source of inspiration,

it should be clearly felt. The exercise starts with selecting object, studying about it in

detail, ponder over what makes it what it is (study of sensa) and finally how the

design is inspired by the object.

Module 2: Abstraction and Spaces

This phase explores the possibilities of integrating abstract thoughts and ideas with

architectural spaces

a) Stories and spaces: This exercise attempts to initiate the idea of weaving stories into

spaces. Students are given a certain number of design elements (examples- walls,

columns, planes, trees, etc.) and they are expected to create a space that explores the

theme chosen in that studio. Themes may be ‘Path and Destination’, ‘Creation of in-

between’, ‘Identity’, ‘Chaos to Serene’, ‘Transformation’, ‘Center and Edge’ etc.

While the students explore the theme, they have to weave a spatial narrative in space.

For example- In theme ‘Paths and Destinations’, while student has to work on the

notions that create movement and a sense of final destination, they have to narrate the

happenings in the journey through the spaces. Students have to explain their scheme

with model, and descriptive drawings.

b) Attributes and Spaces: This exercise explores the dramatic transformation in quality

of space by changing a single attribute such as light, scale, skin, datum etc. The

attempt here is to study with the help of models (e.g. 1:50 model of 4mx4mx4m), how

different space characters can be achieved by changing only one attribute while others

remain constant. Students showcase their findings with two models. Studio may

explore contrasts such as – ‘Chaos and Peace’, ‘ Intimate and Gigantic’, ‘Introvert and

Extrovert’, ‘ Static and Dynamic’, ‘Contemplative and Celebrative’ etc. Students

understand the change in the attribute in each model to reach the desired feeling in

space.

Module 3: Design

Students have to design a dwelling unit that has to take clues from design principles of

‘Master Architects’. The dwelling unit could be an extension to the house of a master

architect or could be an independent house based on the principles of a master architect. The

class is to be divided in groups, each studying the ideologies of an architect, and then

recreating them in design. The studio focuses on understanding the ‘Sensa’ of the ideologies

of master architect and interpretation of the same.

The explorations of the studio to be produced in portfolio along with models at the end of

semester.
