0 0 84
AIM
To enable the acquisition of in-depth knowledge in a specific aspect/ issue in the discipline of architecture
as well as develop perspectives on the same through thought, reading, study, analysis, expression,
documentation.

OBJECTIVES
 To inculcate the spirit of exploration and research in architecture.
 To enable the conversion of effort into a coherent line of thought through writing/
documentation/models/ any media.
 To serve as prelude to Thesis.

CONTENT
Design studio emphasize on explaining and understanding Architecture primarily through the
mode of making. Dissertation offers an opportunity to look at architecture, history and design
primarily through textual. However, like design, dissertation involves process of observation,
reflection and abstraction. Students are encouraged to choose any topic of their interest. They
may range from analyzing the works of an architect, history, typological changes, writing, design
process and many more. The dissertation should state its objectives, followed by exhaustive
documentation and arguments. The emphasis however, could vary according to the topic. The
dissertation proposal in about 1500 words stating the topic issues to be explored and the scope
must be submitted. After approval the work would be periodically reviewed. A well written
report of a minimum 15,000 words must be submitted in the prescribed format, if any provided
by the University. The student would subsequently make a presentation of his/her work and
defend them.
TOTAL: 120 Hour
OUTCOME
 A dissertation report with a coherent line of thought as reflected in the written structure and the
core content which could be open ended.
 Ability to research deeply into a subject and develop depth in thought in any specific area based
on point of view, observation, analysis and study.
 Ability to look at architecture from an informed, analyzed and well thought out personally unique
or objective perspective which would help strengthen the thesis process.

0 0 12 6

AIM

To create awareness that architecture is an integral part of city environment and to sensitize that
design programs have their own environmental impacts.

OBJECTIVES

 To enable an understanding of urbanism as a continuous experience involving the

interrelated disciplines of architecture, urban design and town planning.
 To understand architecture as influenced by the dynamics of cities.
 To facilitate the taking of architectural design decisions in the context of the urban
environment.

CONTENT

Urban Design is a dynamic phenomenon involving many aspects - urban growth, land use
distribution and change, urban form, demographics including gender and class, cultural aspects
such as place and heritage, physical infrastructure such as roads and transportation nodes, public
spaces, etc., Architecture is an integral and large part of urbanism, shaping and being shaped by
it. It can serve to gather society and enrich the urban environment.

Understanding this aspect of architecture can be achieved by architectural projects involving

interdependencies between architecture and the city. Some of the issues and areas that could be
addressed are- transportation nodes, heritage areas, adaptive reuse, suburban sprawl, place
making, identity, collective memory, mixed use programming, large scale urban interventions,
revitalization and renewal of urban fragments, urban waterfront development, urban nodes,
multi-use urban complexes.

Aspects to include topography, geology, Hydrology, micro climate, vegetation, urban density,
growth, city limits, history, urban architecture, typologies, infrastructure, land parcels, public
space, demographics, patterns of usage, land use as a component of analysis in the field study.
The techniques can include contemporary ways of perceiving, gathering and analyzing data,
inclusive, collaborative and participatory approaches, etc.
