14 ARC 2.1 – ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN – II
CONTACT PERIODS : 9 (STUDIO) PER WEEK
TERM WORK MARKS: 200
PROGRESSIVE MARKS : 100
OBJECTIVE:
To expose the students to the grammar of creating architectural space and form, including the study of variables like light, movement, transformation, scale, structure & skin
OUTLINE:
Nature of Space; PLACE: A “boundary”, a “center” and a “spirit” PATH: A “way” and a “goal” DOMAIN: A conglomeration of paths and goals that forms a “whole” with its own “identity” Materials Eg. Masonry (brick & stone), Steel/Glass with cladding infill, exposed Concrete Enclosure, Ambiguity, Transparency in Plan, Section and Elevation, with concept sketches and diagrams so that presentation is self-explanatory ex. 1:50 plans, sections, and elevations. Emphasis on work in studio by hand drawing and study model with lift off roof. The One Room House Lecture cum discussion on the Poetics of Space like light, movement, transformation, scale, structure and skin (case study based): keywords for discussion: contemplative / severe / dramatic / minimalist / natural / organic / contemporary / traditional. Understanding the role of physical (terrain, climate, materials, etc.) and cultural factors (open, closed, transition spaces) that inform architecture. Projects shall be explored with the help of models and sketches. Any One Room enclosure could be taken to explore the implication of light, movement, transformation, scale, structure and skin. Emphasis on freeing the expression of the poetic self, rather than on meeting external standards, and student development of self-explanatory presentations Case study assignment (done in groups of four students per group): One from library/internet research and one from actual experience. Project presented in the form of a portfolio. Emphasis on studio work/participation and Hand drawings. Formulate a process of testing the various elements of space making learnt earlier in the semester through a project on an actual site. The project examples could be: A House for myself, Guest House, Farm house, Villa, Container house, Courtyard house, Tree house, etc.
Note:
The portfolio covering all the assignments shall be presented for term work. References:
