Synopsis







The course provides exercises in designing a complex of buildings with a  medium/long span structure and with a complexity involving the site planning of several medium scale public access structures such as commercial buildings, educational institutions, housing, government buildings, health institutions, transportation and telecommunication hubs, as well as religious institution that has a building height of four to eight stories (Low-rise) involving the occupancy of not more than 250 persons within an area of 3 acres. Students are required to integrate some knowledge of architectural theory/approach/investigation in designing the buildings with awareness of the services, structural systems, the required construction materials and components and address the related building by-laws. However, design theme for this semester will focus on educational institutions and building typologies that can be address by each studio master should relate to this theme. Building typologies under the educational institutions theme may involve built form like child development centres including preschool and day-care, elementary and secondary schools, university, including college and post-graduate education, training facilities, academies and research centres. The choosing and location of the site depends on the social cultural issues addressed by studio masters.
·       Studio masters need to follow the format for preparing each handout for the given projects – 1,2,3,4 (do refer to attachments)
·       Studio masters need to follow the designated given mark during assessment for all given projects – 1,2,3,4 according to the CO and PO’s (do refer to attachments)- This is important to ensure inconsistency of marking between all 3rd yr studios.
·       Every studio masters must involve in giving lecture inputs to all 3rd year students (venue , date and time TBC)
