OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of Arch. Design in the 1 st semester were concerned with space and form and formaltransformations. The objective of Arch. Design in the 2

ndsemester was to study space and activity. The

continuation of this leads to understanding of architecture as an outcome of space and structure

Understanding basic structure forms in relation to space and materials. Application of structure forms in design.

CONTENTS:

EVOLUTION OF STRUCTURALSYSTEMS:

Trabeated: Brick and stone, columns and beams slabs, one way and two way,

coffers.

Arcuated: Corbelled, Radiating Arch, Vault and Dome, Squinch and Pendentives.

Vector Structures: Trusses and space frames.

Tensile: Tents, Cables, and Pneumatic vis--vis materials and plan shape/s

It should be noted that emphasis would be on the design parameters and

graphical presentation of systems rather than their structural analysis.

Suggested

Exercises:

Making of models of various structural forms with appropriate and

innovative materials.

Making a scale model of important historical building/s incorporating

one of the structural forms e.g.Trabeated: Parthenon, Arcuated-: Santa Sophia, Pantheon:,

Vector Active: Pompidou Center:,

Form Active: Sydney Opera House:

Tensile: any famous bridge or stadium.

Design programmes

incorporating imaginative

use of space and forms:

Suggested studio exercises:

Small space structures such as kiosks, Bus shelters, Petrol pumps,

Entrance gates, Rain shelters Exhibition stalls etc.

Large space structures such as Gymnasiums, Skating Rinks, badminton

halls, Exhibition pavilion, Religious buildings etc.

OBJECTIVES :

Understanding of the period in terms of its location, climate as well as the social cultural, historical, economicand political influences of the time.

Study of the different building and the development of architectural form and character based on thedevelopments in construction and technology exemplified through specific building examples that identify the



Picturesque and Neo- classical

architecture:

Purity and structural honesty of antiquity preferred over ornamentation and

exaggeration of Baroque. Representation of ancient Roman monuments in

imaginary compositions. Archeological purism and importance of pictorial

values in historical settings. Recreation of antique Roman simplicity and

splendor for modern living. Study of important palaces and public buildings

in Britain and France.

Enlightenment and beginnings of

Modern :

Belief in creation of new and ideal world through return to fundamentals,

true and original values. Romanticizing elementary geometrical forms with

undecorated surfaces. Iron and glass construction for openness and lightness:

Art Nouveau. Repetitive, Orthogonal, skeletal systems for horizontal and

vertical expansion. Latter attempts to dissociate references to past styles.

Modern Architecture: Social intentions and search for ideal world. Pluralism in place of past unity

of styles. Search for paradigms in historical sources: It return to fundamentals

and origins in geometry, nature and paradigms of technology.

Expressions of construction and technology. Equating technology andprogress with present. Functionalism and functional appropriateness.

Thoughts and works of frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Groupies, Le

Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Louis Kahn, Dutch De Stijl

Italian futurists and Russian Constructivists.

International style: Oversimplification of the modern Movement into

functional, steel and glass, cubes. Monotonous functionalist abstractions and

Modernism as a style.

Disenchantment of modern cities and fall of modern Movement.

Post Modern Architecture: Post Modern Architecture as a revision of Modern architecture and resistance

to functional containers of 60s. Objective, representational and emphasis on

content. Pluralistic and differing trends.

Post ModernHistoricism: Rooted to place and history. Regards of expression: ornaments, symbolism

and context with irony and humour, exemplified through the works of James

Stirling, Michael Graves, Charles Moore, Arata Isozaki.

Neo- Modern: Disregard historical imaginary to recapture ideas for modern architecture of

20s. Hi-tech metal abstractions of Richard Rogers, Normal Foster, showing

structure and equipment as implied ornament. References of Russian

Constructivists. The early works of New York Five including later works of

Richar Mier as complicated, exaggerated and sophisticated revival of the

modern grid and Corbusiers geometry. Synthesis of Hi-Tech and Historicism

in the works Aldo Rossi, Mario Botta, Cesar Pelli.

Deconstructive: Narrative and representational. Sources in Russian Constructivism. Non

perfection in the works of Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, Bernard Tschumi,

Daniel Libeskind, questioning traditional purity of form, geometry and

structure.

APPROACH:

Lectures to be specifically conducted with the visual aids and seminars presented by students. Student will make written assignments and seminar presentations on architectural
